Tony, it would have taken Silky Sullivan at his very best to make up ground on that track. Many of the legitimate Closing horses were compromised by trouble as well.
Barbaro is a decent horse, but in the Derby he's a very tall order at very short odds and may not hit the board. There were a lot on that Gulfstream card that won or nearly won that are toss plays on different surfaces.
If I owned Barbaro, I'd change plans quickly They should send him for some of the shorter European grass races. I will take him head to head vs. First Samurai and Bluegrass Cat though.
Did TGraph publish a figure for the Florida Derby? I'm still guessing in about the 0-1 range for the winner and Sunriver running as fast if not faster.
