Interesting
I think this is a very interesting group especially with the addition of Coast Guard.

(Tres Borrachos) Martin Garcia, in a return to Bay Meadows, also makes him worth a 2nd look. |

Behindatthebar should light these up. I suppose his pedigree is geared towards sprinting, but his running style certainly suggests this is in range. This could be Todd Pletcher's main Derby hope after the weekend.

Looking through the pp's I noticed the name Autism Awareness and his past work and couldn't help but laugh out loud hysterically for a good 15 seconds. Haven't done that in a long time.

I could be wrong and this horse could be the real deal in what is a horrible graded race. I was wrong about the filly in the Battaglia... |

The way the Derby Trail has been thus far.. I'm sure some are coming out of the wood work now, thinking "Why not"... Pretty "Ho-hum". I sure hope this weekend changes things a bit and we can start to get a clearer picture. Personally, I am hoping to see how Coast Guard does. He should romp against those.

i think 2 ... giant moon and roman emperor.
and saratoga russell is possible, if they find a prep that he can steal. he is obviously very fast, i would never play him, but i am sure they want to get him there. |

The Gotham is an interesting race, and perhaps a very good betting race, especially if Giant Moon is even close to the favorite, but as of now nobody in there has done anything to distinguish themselves. A lot of perfect trip winners from what I can see.
I just hope it's an even/fair track. |

He's in Florida. After his win in the Whirlaway he was switched to Godolphin. Apparently the Sheik was upset that Bernardini didn't carry the Godolphin colors so now anyone with any promise gets switched to Godolphin. Just be glad he didn't go to Dubai. |
