That'd be true if the derby fractions are :46, 1:09.4, 1:35.1.. If he can be out near the lead with a :46.4, 1:11, 1:37, I think he might have enough left to get there. This is the first Derby I can remember in a while where there weren't atleast 4 or 5 bonafide front running speedballs who would be shooting for the lead and I would not be surprised if they cross 6f 1:12.
