Social Inclusion, European racing and drawn widest in bloodstock industry, and in promoting Europe as the post 11 here, earned a division-leading 111 Beyer in his premier region to both source and race top-class two-turn debut last time. "Our plan was to come here horses. The alliance was recently dubbed >Destination for the Wood and then go directly to the Preakness, but Europe=. The TDN=s Kelsey Riley sat down with the last time he ran so good we started thinking about the heads of the three organizations--Carter Carnegie Derby and the Triple Crown," owner Ronald Sanchez (GBRI), Elaine Hatton (ITM) and Capucine Houel (FRBC) commented. "This horse is really special. If you see the to get the scoop on the creation and goals of workouts he does, he's floating. Last Saturday he went Destination Europe, and what initiatives they have in in :46 4/5 and galloped out in :59 3/5, so easy. He's a store. classy horse, and you have to give him the chance. He's a professional horse, and it's hard to find a Cont. p4 professional horse. We respect all the horses, but we're not scared of anybody."

"Social Inclusion is obviously a very talented horse, but there are some real horses in this race," trainer Rick Violette offered. "I think we've got a strong hand in this race because our horse will do anything the jockey asks. If we're going to break running and they decide to give us the lead, it will be a controlling lead. If someone else wants the lead, they're welcome to it. There's no question we want to win--it's a $1-million race, it's a Grade I, it's in our backyard. Our objective is to run our 'A' race without leaving everything on the table, which is greedy, but then, everyone is in the same boat."

Uncle Sigh=s trainer Gary Contessa added, "My opinion is the favorite for the Derby comes out of this race. If Social Inclusion wins, hands-down, he'll be the favorite, and if you beat him, then you're going to be one of the favorites. The whole Derby picture is so cloudy right now, and I think the Wood is going to produce the Derby favorite if he does it impressively, or if it's Social Inclusion or Samraat. All eyes will be on the Wood this year." You can never count out trainer Todd Pletcher in the major Triple Crown preps, and he will be represented by narrow GIII Sam F. Davis S. runner-up and Gotham fifth-place finisher Harpoon (Tapit). "The horse has shown us he has a little more ability than his record suggests," said Pletcher, who won the Wood in 2010 with Eskendereya, in 2012 with Gemologist, and last year with Verrazano. "In his races, he's been a little intimidated by kickback, but he seems to be maturing and getting stronger through the process."
