Mike Smith has decided to ride Abel Talsman instead of Midnight Bisou in the BC Distaff. Johnny V picks up the mount.
Diversify will not run in the Classic primarily because of health issues with trainer Rick Violette.
Rushing Fall will not run in the Filly/Mare Turf due to the 1 3/8 mile distance. Valliska will also skip the race.
Feel free to add data as it comes available.
Hey vet...I love Yoshida as well. Billy Mott can get his horses ready for big days such as this. I came across this article giving an inside look at the connections of Yoshida. Enjoy!

vet...just took a cursory look & Accelerate from the 14 post will have to gun it to get lead away from West Coast. It's a perfect setup for someone charging down the lane in the stretch.
Little chance of rain both Fri/Sat. Turf may be less than firm due to early week rain.
After a 6 month break, West Coast ran 2nd to Accelerate in the Awesome Again. IMO Baffert will have him ready to fire again in the Classic.
In the Juvenile Fillies, Sippican Harbor is a dead closer with plenty of early speed in the race. The chalk has won 53% of the time in this race.
In the Sprint, Limousine Liberal has won 6 of 8 races @ Churchill.
In the Juvenile, don't forget Calvin Borel gets the rail on Dueling.
CORRECTION....Borel is not riding Dueling.
Heard an interesting comment made by Caton Bredar, wife of jock Florent Geroux, regarding the turf @ CD. Apparently they never rate the turf "soft". They use the "yielding" rating. She talked with jock Ryan Moore this morning & he said it was soft.
If the rain continues, keep an eye on track conditions tomorrow/Saturday.
while were at it.
