I don't get all this chatter. The horses we all liked left it out on the track in their derby preps case closed. Look at all the past derby numbers. The majority of horses that move forward before the derby significantly do not do well their first time at a mile and a quarter. I knew these horses were going to regress. I just did not think it was going to be this much. I am dying to see these numbers given out for this race. Does everyone agree --- The only negative horse we thought was most likely to hold form was AA?

I am starting to think the better line is a la Monarchos good number - slight backward move in Derby Prep which does not take much out of him then back to big number. I think Smarty had that as well.
