Notes:
Edgar Prado will ride Machen in the Louisiana Derby. Pluck will go in a one-mile turf allowance at Tampa Bay instead of the G3 Palm Beach at Gulfstream Park on 3-12. Rogue Romance has a foot bruise and will miss the Louisiana Derby. A majority interest has been sold in Silver Medallion but he will reportedly remain with Steve Asmussen.
