Summary:
The big news of the day is the close of entries for two stepping-stones to the Kentucky Derby. Comma To The Top draws the rail in the El Camino. The easier race for them might have just got a little trickier. Trial by fire- Mandella not only switches Ten Devils to dirt but also talks of altering his running style… in a G2 no less. Plus the Factor still possible for San Vincente, Walden says no rush with Cal Nation, and Mucho Macho Man may bolt from the South Florida circuit to the Fairgrounds.
