So what you are saying is if Bellamy Road had not been running into the wind down the strech he would have won by twenty plus.

You see what the wind did to Going Wild, he stopped so badly he was almost blown over backwards.

I would be totally shocked if someone can find me a horse who has EVER come into the Derby off two individual wins by 15 and 17 1/2 lengths.

Survivalist was an improving type who came into the Wood off paired 4's and was beaten by 17 1/2. Galloping Grocer came in off paired 4's and was beaten by 26 lengths. I do not envy any of the high profile Speed Figure Boys because there is no getting around what this horse ran today.

Bellamy Road is now the Derby favorite and will go off at odds of 4-1 or less.

Five weeks rest, two preps, three preps they all seem so meaningless now. The Bounce Theory is now the topic of the next month.

Brown, Beyer, Friedman, you guys are in the Hotseat like never before.

Speaking of hotseats I heard today Victoria Gotti is coming to the Derby. First the Boss now the Mob.
