There was a little back and forth last week between Bobphilo and I during which I blasted people who overanalyzed the San Rafael Stakes, a 4 horse race, 2 horses being Ky Derby contenders. My point subtle as usual was that mid January was not the time to exhibit serious symptoms of Derby fever.

As an exercise in boredom, I did a search on the TG board for Giacomo, last year's longshot Derby winner. One post, by a frequent contributor, seems to name both Giacomo and Derby second place finisher Closing Argument in the same post. The date: February 5, 2005, 3 months before the running of the Derby. As I recall the author of this post ended up liking High Limit on Derby Day.
