Haven’t had time to think about draw yet, but think TTL should be fine. He’s arrived at Churchill this morning

 I am concerned about the potential for violence--- it is absurd: there are no fans---- i am worried about the horses and the people caring for them as well

 Comment by Barclay Tagg: all i can say is, he is a concerned trainer, not a politician. He said what he thinks.

Thinking it’s gonna be a no go ?

 What a shame: i am sure Martinez is very upset but of course they are doing what is best for the horse: i think that horse had a decent chance to do well in the Derby. too bad.

It's a shame about Art Collector.  Such a good horse.  Look forward to him feeling better and his return.
