Had to be impressed with Lawyer Ron's Rebel win. People started giving up on him when his Southwest figure was lower but that was due to him being sent hard early there. He showed he can rate beautifully in the Rebel and that very wide move where he blew away the field on the turn and still had enough to win going away by 3 instead of tiring and actually otkicked the good closer Steppenwolfer was a damn good race. This guy was my Derby pick early and my main concern was whether he could rate and come from off the pace, which he'll need to do in the Derby and he passed that test with flying colors.
I agree with your top 3 Derby picks except I'd put LR on top with Brother Derek and Sweetnorthernsaint as next 2. I think the main question now has switched from whether LR has the ability, to will he hold his form after 3 hard races and more to come.
