Another example of trainer-speak. Obviously he doesn't believe it that firmly, or he'd run her! Everybody wants to win the Derby. If you think you can win, you go! Plenty go and they know they have no shot and they just want to hang out and act like what Hunter Thompson called 'a bunch of atavistic freaks with their shoes covered in vomit (sic).'
McPeek wants to have it both ways. If he wins the Oaks he can say he could've won the Derby too (I believe you Ken!). These guys are almost as good as the politicians. I firmly close my ears to all trainer comments re: the Derby...now. What the hell do you expect them to say? "My horse has no shot but the owner has a suite at the Hilton and wants to meet some broads." Not bloody likely. HP
