Interesting that you say that Teuflesberg has the best "foundation" in the
race (and foundation is important for the Derby). Indeed he has been entered
almost every time he has stuck his neck out of his stall.
There are a lot of "nice" aspects to this story-- trainer Sanders was a long
time assistant to Zito, trainer Sanders galloped Teufel's dam, they paid $9K
for him, etc, but I can't help but think that a more seasoned trainer would have
brought this need the lead type into the Derby more lightly raced.
I stil contend that Hard Spun would have been in front of this colt every
step of the glacially paced BG
