Looks like the consensus here is that Stevie Wonder Boy takes a rematch with Brother Derek. That rematch is scheduled to be at 8.5 furlongs in the Santa Catalina.
I'm much less confident SWB is gonna turn the tables there. Brother Derek now owns 3 two turn wins and clearly he wasnt as close to SWB in the Breeders Cup Juvenile as he is now. Was it pace that impacted the B.C. Juvenile loss? Maybe that was part of it. Derek's BC Juvenile certainly was better than it appears though. Henny Hughes ran a nice race that day too.
Brother Derek has some extremely sneaky breeding. The family prong that looks weakest is the most interesting to me. Can he go 9 furlongs? On his Past Performances hard to see why he wont. SWB failed to run Derek down at two turns Saturday. A little more pace and a little more fitness will get Stevie up going two turns for sure right? Did anyone calculate their respective closing fractions? If they came home slow where was Stevie?
