Brother Derek has a slew of graded stakes
Lawyer Ron is undefeated on the dirt
Barbaro is undefeated and a media darling
Bob and John and Point Determined and Sinister Minister come in for the best trainer in the game
Pletcher brings in Keyed Entry who beat SnS, along with the Mighty Mighty Bluegrass Cat and Sunriver if hes lucky. You don't buck Todd Pletcher.

I really don't know what the Tgraph pattern is on SnS because I make my own numbers for the cards with the big races. (Jazz up stock numbers actually) Last I heard Tgraph had him for a Neg 1 in his last. Which would be a competitive Derby number.
