Survivalist?

If Shug's not running its because he knows his horse isn't up to it and he doesn't juice them up to try and get there.

If Nobiz has a stellar Derby you can look back and say "Gee, Sightseeing ran him tough in the Wood, Shug should have run Sightseeing in the Derby."

Survivalist was a Danzig over a Mr. Prospector mare. He ran second and third tier races after the Classics were over. To say because Giacomo won that Survivalist could have picked up some pieces is a pretty big stretch.

But to say "Survivalist should have run in the Derby because look at the effort of Bellamy Road there." is a tough sell. If you're saying that Bellamy Roads Wood was not as big as it looked, you'll get some support there.
