Default DERBY PACE MUST READ: Moss' Preview/Review

Do not miss Randy Moss' great Pace Preview/Breakdown, as well as his Historical Review...

They will help you understand the way the Derby is likely to unfold or at least give you something to work from to help you generate a scenario where the horse you like does well...

Steve,

Excellent tout, read it inside and out and has to impact your view of the race. As hyper Derby information abounds, this is vital stuff.

I have a lot of respect for Moss and think he is by far the best handicapper ESPN has employed. I see it a few ticks worth of Derby pressure faster than Moss, but everyone has an opinion. I also see another 3 who could decide to contest the two he talks about for the lead.

Moss is great...but when it comes down to heading for the windows I find it hard to believe he will place his $2 win bet on Visionaire..... when he does I will be right next to him sending it in on Colonel John and asking him "Have you ever thought of trying Rogaine?"

Why is it that just about everyone assumes that Big Brown needs the lead?

Because this is a stampede.
And as the best horse in a race with speed,
there is trouble almost everywhere else.

Which is of course why this race is so difficult to win.
This is not the Florida Derby.

He really does not need the lead. But if he finds himself
in a group... Target practice. All he needs is a good trip.
And I cant think of another race in the US where the
probability of getting a bad trip is so relevant.

He may not need the lead. . . But he may just not have anyone faster than him early to run at. . .
