Sometimes men are the most indecisive people, and frankly its annoying. Hansen who is currently training at the Churchill Training track (according to his facebook) was originally pointed to the $1 Million Wood Memorial, and now drf.com is reporting that he will now skip the Wood and run in the $750,000 Blue Grass Stakes. Which now because Hansen is skipping the Wood, Alpha who was being pointed to the Louisiana Derby is now being reconsidered for the Wood. Dr. Kendall Hansen is saying that he would rather not ship the equine Hansen around that much, I get it, but look at a map, Kentucky to New York is not that long of a flight. I think you are trying to get an easier race in before that first Saturday in May. Ramon Dominguez who was injured in a spill last week is scheduled to race again March 31, The Wood is April 7th, and the Blue Grade is April 14. I see the point of holding off and giving Ramon more time to heal, but if he wasn't ready he would not embarrass himself by losing on a Derby horse. Ramon is the regular rider for both Hansen and Alpha, but if they both are going to the Derby, he might as well make his choice now.
But here's by advice to the owners: your horse isn't always going to win, so wo-man up and lets see some good competition! and dammit, enter them both in the Wood!
