There's a zero percent chance Square Eddie finishes last in the Derby.

Yeah, only because he might not finish the race at all.

I can think of at least three or four potential Derby entrants who stink worse than this one.

there are more than that ... however, they haven't been rushed back from an injury - and are forced to make their second start in two weeks racing over dirt for the first time in what always is a faster paced race than your avg synthetic route.

The thing is, I actually think Square Eddie has a lick of talent, and somewhat trust that he wouldn't be rushed back to the Derby if he wasn't sound. I just can't imagine him finishing dead last in a field of 20 given the current field.

He's owned by J. Paul Reddam.

Agree on talent, disagree on being rushed, disagree on not finishing last.

And I like the horse, was my BCJ pick, and hope I'm wrong.
