Even the most hardened of horse players that see where drugs have taken the game, can still get some Derby fever! Especially when BB doesn't have them over a barrel. Although last year's "training job" with getting a horse that couldn't run the Haskell distance to stretch out to the Derby distance and win always makes one nervous of the rabbits he can pull out of a hat. Generally, everyone can see whatever he does works best when sent hard to the lead just like Arrogate at the Travers several years back. MS and CT weren't able to or didn't do that in their last preps.
All that being said, I don't think Baffert can win with MS or CT (if he even runs CT which I doubt) and thus it makes it a more attractive betting race for me if I have any other strong opinions besides that one.
