Chris,

I agree with you on most of your early Derby thoughts...... one thing on Trust N Luck though; I never liked Booklet's pedigree, and even though Trust N Luck has the same sire, his female family adds a lot more stamina than Booklet's does. Take a look at kentuckyderby.com, they have some good comments on TNL's breeding in the contenders section. I don't necessarily like him to win the Derby, but I think he has a lot more class than Booklet.

Thoughts out there on Indy Dancer? Can this horse be that bad? Or how good is Badge of Silver? I remember McPeek's Dehere filly (forget her name) put up some amazing #'s at FG last spring going a mile and a sixteenth, yet I was sure she wasn't able to run a strong mile and a quarter. I kind of get that feeling about BOS, but I wouldn't be amazed if the horse went into the Derby undefeated (taking the Ill Derby path).
