Default Sloppy Track for KYDerby?

Although this is about exact as picking a cold super, if it's accurate, we could be in for some mudders on May 2nd. Check out:
http://www.dryday.com/30dayWeather/U...ouisville.html

With very few preps run on wet, sloppy or muddy tracks, this will be a skull buster. I can just hear the excuses about "my horse just couldn't get hold of that track"...blah...blah...blah.
To my best recollection, some contenders with demonstrated off-track form include:
DESERT PARTY 1ST 07-24-08 SANFORD S MUDDY
FRIESAN FIRE 1ST 03-14-09 LOUISIANA DERBY SLOPPY
WIN WILLY 1ST 03-14-09 REBEL S GOOD

How much stock do you put in sire ratings and other breeding data? So who is your sloppy Derby horse?

Like clockwork, we get our first 12 days out how will weather impact the field question of Derby 2009. Well played.

Sloppy track yields following headline: FRIESAN FIRE BURNS FOES!

He was running for fun in Louisiana Derby. My favorite Fair Grounds - Churchill Downs fact is: Longest main track stretch in North America = FG (1,346 feet); second longest = CD (1,234.5 feet).
