I have a $20 bet on Luxor Cafe at 98-1 (pool #5).  Fingers crossed.  Hopefully the winner won’t be “the other” Japanese horse.

Any idea where you can find the Equibase PPs for Luxor Cafe?
I ready the article and it did not mention it.

Equibase has free Kentucky Derby Probables PPs but they are NOT the updated ones that were discussed in the article. They do not list those in their Premium PPs. I also updated my Brisnet PPs for the race and nothing is changed. Maybe it is a bit early to expect things to be updated. Ultimately I could not find that information either.

Title: Equiline Entries Baffert Scratch, First Meet Starter and Comfort Level

Thanks for the update Romans.

So Bobby has two going Thursday, two Friday, (Tenma in the Oaks), and nine Saturday.

Yesterday in the 7th his first meet starter, morning line favorite, \"March of Time\" was scratched with an equibase notation \"(Reg-Vet) unsoundness\" They had shipped this horse from California. 4yo Justify one race in 2023. One at end of 2024 and one late in January. Yeah he\'s a little ouchy.

He had worked on the track April 25th:  https://brunowiththeworks.s3.amazonaws.com/CD/2025-04/MarchOfTime-CD-20250425_hq.mp4 The work was not inspiring.

Guessing Bobby\'s own vet pulled the plug. You never know soundness with a Justify. Like father, like son. Makes you wonder if the Reg-Vet tested him for Chemistry pre race also? and found some yet.

He\'s winning at near 33%... Roman what is it currently?

This is so uncomfortable.

T, first off you make me laugh, so thank you. \"A little ouchy\", LOL!

For some reason I like Tenma in the Oaks. She\'ll probably lose by 20 as soon as she finds out I am going to bet her.

Also, just checked, he winning at 33%. Not that I am a Baffert apologist , but to be fair , he is racing mostly in California in 5 horse fields, getting the best stock.

Let\'s get East Ave. home. Just saw the seminar is up, any thoughts before I watch?

I have no thoughts at all right now. Just apprehensions.

If you are ever in the Chicago area, I would like to buy you a drink. Just for the laughs, at Hawthorne if they survive the weekend.
