Obviously this horse is not running. With Nehro in there perhaps Zayat is going to enter him just to shrink the field, but who exactly are they afraid of making the field. Shakleford?

I already mentioned this possibility on your OTHER thread. Is this really necessary? (Yawns.)
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

Shackleford would be more of a problem for The Factor than Nehro. Maybe Baffert is even more Machiavellian than we thought. He's using a Zayat horse to benefit another client's horse! Of course at this point we really don't know who the last horse on the bubble is going to be.

Or maybe Baffert is thinking lets take a shot with a horse who finished 2nd in his last prep race. He got smoked but that horse is out, and his 2nd to Premier Pegasus was a little like Archarcharch's 3rd to The Factor the race before last. Both were well beaten but they were one of the few horses running at the end. Who is to say a now healthy Jaycito doesn't step up in his next race the way Archarcharch did? Stranger things have happened--week after week, as a matter of fact.
He hasn't worked since April 2. Foot problems in April do not a Derby contender make.
This horse gets more undeserved press than Charlie Sheen.
