Will have to see how the time stacks up for the rest of the card (historically, it's solid), but my initial reaction is that the Derby winner wasn't in there. Epicharis was game for sure, and did all the pace making. Thunder Snow was wide and also up on it.

But they were coming back to the pack at the line. The 3 and 4 finishers may be the ones to want going forward. Against this crop of 3 year old, that might be good enough, but I'll be betting against it if they come here. (Full disclosure, I have a future bet on Epi)
