TGJB,
Not enough patience to read through this entire string, but........ Whywhywhy is bred to sprint, and was aided big time by the wet fast strip in his last Belmont win (as you know better than anyone), and Perfect Drift simply has stamina problems. His Derby was average at best, absolutely no reason why he couldn't have cut at least a length or two into WE's lead down the stretch (and his Belmont was even worse). Don't read too much into those two particular horses, they are both overrated (i.e. Www will never be a star going 9F, and PD will never be a star going 10F. Forget the X, just say don't bet those horses when they try distances beyond their means). BTW...... what is your early opinion on a Vindication vs Storm Flag Flying spring matchup. I usually lose interest in horse racing after the BC, but I think I might have to shop around for some Derby futures odds. I really think SFF might be something special.
