Miff:
Alot of trainers wish they were in the "trouble" Pletcher is in, with Circular
Quay,Any Given Saturday,Scat Daddy and Cowtown Cat headed into the Derby. In
addition, 5 of the 23 fillies in the pool for the Ky Oaks future wager are from
team TAP.
Still in all a great betting race, projecting the lightly raced Curlin as a 4/1
favorite, with many horses who have a legitimate shot in at odds between 6/1 -
20/1.
Will be interested to see if Michael D and NC Tony stick with Blue Grass winner
Dominican as he returns to the dirt. He has certainly taken to synthetic, but
it also must be remembered that he was gelded before his victory in the Rushaway
and that may be as significant a factor as the surface switch.Dominican will be
seeking his first dirt win in the Derby by Yums!, and whether you love Poly,
hate Poly or are on the fence, you have to admit that the synthetic prep races
only add to the intrigue (and difficulty) of picking a Derby winner.
