There were some buried efforts in that Derby. Flower Alley's most notably. We'll have to wait to see how Tgraph rated that Travers, but regardless he is a horse with a recent progressive pattern and he was just asked to reel in a loose horse and acquitted himself quite well.

The Jockey Club Gold Cup will be interesting, especially if there are entries to dissuade another speed pop attempt. Post position plays a role in that race too. Bellamania has been very fortunate in most of his entry and post position draws. You have to factor how open class adversity may impact him. If you think he's got one in him that will probably be the race to make it pay.
