Even under TGraph Survivalist scored a four with some wide I believe. That makes Scrappy a pretty good 5-6. The Wood did collapse it is a question of how much.

I think the argument is similar. Consolidator obviously collapsed. Sun King I'm less sure of, but he certainly didn't break well and get right into it like he would have had to in order to be a factor that day. High Limit was a mess late and there was no one to pick him up because they were staggering as badly behind him.
Does anyone really think High Limit is gonna hit the board in the Derby? You're calling this horse a pair off the Bluegrass. Well a pair looks like a good position to move forward. He's gonna face a pace issue, but if he was firing a legitimate 1 last, the pace issue is gonna be of little consequence correct? and he should finish as resolutely. Who thinks he hits the top 4 Derby day...seriously?
Haven't we established that the extra sixteeth didn't impact his figure? Who is gonna worry about another 8th. He was holding them safe right? ( I reserve the right to bet high limit if I conclude post draw he will have the lead)
