The difference is Value Plus caved in the Wood. Keyed Entry was beaten 2 lengths I think. Thats a must go scenario with the hope of catching a speed surface Derby Day. The Blue Monkey is making all the calls now.

Bob and John is not my favorite. Not saying I won't bet him just yet, but hes a good horse and has been a fast horse since the Sham. To my eye his pattern is Sham of 1-2, Regression due to trouble in the San Felipe to a 3.1 and now a an improvement to the zero or less range. I'll leave that one to T Graph. That was the only 2 turn race and I'm still working on it. Point Determined is also a good horse on the improve. Baffert is dangerous, but I can't say yet this is his year.

Saint absolutely cruised, check out the final eighth fraction. He's your Derby winner with a trip unless you want to project bounce. I dont' care how fast he ran, he aint gonna bounce. Hes bounceproof baby. He's anti March Madness.
