Denis of Cork sneaks into Kentucky Derby field
Lightly raced Denis of Cork will participate in the 2008 Kentucky Derby following the defection of Lexington hero Behindatthebar, who wisely will wait for the Preakness Stakes on May 17th.
The David Carroll trainee exits a flat effort in the Illinois Derby, but his recent works have been strong. He would have been in a much stronger position if his connections opted to run him in the Rebel Stakes, but the owner decided to skip that prep because of the sheets numbers, and that major error hurts him dearly from a seasoning standpoint.
