There won’t be a “next one.”  Papa Clem was offered at 25-1 in the ante-post wagering set by Coral this week.

Also in the same DRF article, California based trainer Gary Stute indicated that he hopes to get his colt, Papa Clem, eligible for the Dubai World Cup with some improved performances at Santa Anita.  Saturday’s $150,000 San Fernando offers a possible stepping stone for the winner of the 2009 Arkansas Derby (G2).
