I hear you, Joe. The 2004 Wood was a lousy affair. Master David is running for tags these days and still can't win. Eddington turned out to be very a nice horse, but it's my view that Hennig did a poor job with him during his early 3-year-old campaign.

This year's Wood was an odd affair, and I'm not dismissing Bob & John just yet. He stepped out of his comfort zone on Saturday and pressed a hot pace, because if he hadn't, Keyed Entry would have been gone. I thought it was a huge effort. What's more, the horse has already shown that he's capable of coming home fast when allowed to go slower early. In the Sham, his closing fractions were :24 2/5 and :12 3/5. Come Derby day, it won't be his job to keep the speed horses honest, and he may just settle into a groove and throw 12's all the way around the track. Just my take.

Really curious to see his number for the Wood.
