Wilko has been working very well (59.4, out in 1:11.3 on Saturday), and as someone posted on this board earlier, he ran 1-1/4 miles in a wide 1-1/8 SA Derby.
I own him in the futures at 21/1, which could turn out to be no value. Wilko could be that price or higher on Derby Day.
No horse since Sea Hero has won the Derby without running at least a 100 Beyer in their final prep before the Derby; Wilko ran a 98.
Wilko does have stamina, and he did show a nice burst of speed in the BC Juvie after dropping back on the turn.
