Mike,
Point taken, but I think this Derby is gonna get somewhere around a 0 because Prado saved ground. I agree with you in that he seems to tower over the rest, but remember virtually every horse had a bad trip (including the winner which can be a whole 'nother discussion). If you liked something going in and didn't get what you expected, you can draw a line thru the race and look at the Preakness as just the 11th race at Pimlico on a Saturday afternoon. A whole new ballgame.
