Tony, now don't get surly. I know your Poly to Dirt angle took a beating on the Post Position Draw, but theres no need to get all rambunctious about it. We have two days left to hammer out this Derby and I certainly wasn't discussing Beyer for Beyer's sake.

The topic dealt with Beyer's dismissal of Curlin based upon Statistical Trends that have very little to do with figure pattern reads. If I don't miss my guess Curlin looks very nice on TGraph pattern. Maybe a top last. I'm surmising a minor move forward to that top. In that regard, he could be sitting upon a Funny Cide pattern race, of course without the Funny Cide 2YO foundation.

Whats exciting about this Derby is that theres few horses to suspect Bounce is going to be an issue. Those that could be bounce concerns seem to be in the Pletcher barn. In other words, either these horses are on the slow side or many that may be poised to fire their very best race.

I thought it was silly for Beyer to dismiss Curlin on that angle in light of all the positive aspects. The Post is likely to get Curlin in more trouble than any Apollo Trend.
