I think he pretty much handles this field. The only other horse I would even consider is Arson Squad. But there is no pace in this race and Brother Derek should be able to handle this field.

I hear you on that. But Sweet Return was also winless in her last 9 starts and she won today. She got soft easy fractions and I picture the same for Brother Derek.

And won it looking backwards...As much as I hate to say it, it appears as though he just had a great day... Turns out he's clearly not the horse everyone (including me) thought he was....

Why dont they have BRO D sent to the lead anymore????This horse is not going to rate!!! he seems so uncomfortable being held back. Let him run his race and then cash in.

I like Dan Hendricks, but.....

I think they need a trainer change, something needs to change. That horse has shown flashes of being a racehorse, and hes way too good looking to run like that

I hate to tell you this but he was never held back. He's just a slow horse. He never had quick early fractions. Just had the lead against slower horses. I thought it was unbelievale that he managed a 4th in the Ky Derby. Ofcourse it was a very distant 4th. Then 4th in the Preakness..
hmm did he rn 4th yesterday?

Hey I found a key in the super

Espinoza gave Midnight Lute another 3wide 1st turn, 4 wide second turn ride.

UGGGH...whether or not he is the best horse in the race...just once I would like to see Midnight Lute break well...get in a good position early...and then get a good ride to the finish line...without going 6 wide or the jock moving early....I know I am asking a lot

He gave him the same exact wide crappy ride three weeks ago.
