Joe B. -
I guess I'd take the position that, since he got tired during the race, BG Cat did get conditioning out of the Blue Grass. One could even argue that it's advantageous to get legged up without the jarring effects of running fast. Of course, when they go backwards like that (especially after sputtering turning for home in the Tampa Bay Derby) you always worry that something other than the track was the problem. I'd take 30/1, but not 20/1.
Joe, refresh my recollection regarding your profile for a Derby horse. I remember something about a strong 7 furlongs (on the pace I think) at 2.
