I got the Derby Special. Even ignoring the BC Juvenile, Good Magic looks exceptionally strong to me. I cannot believe he is 12-1. His Blue Grass looks great to me and it looks like he can move forward off of it. I often lose, so what do I know, but I think Good Magic has the best pattern and is there on number power already.
