"I don't think it would be that much of a shock to see Senor Swinger improve 5 pts in his next two starts (one prep and then the Derby), which gives him a outside shot at the roses.
A stretch but certainly not impossible. If nothing else, the purchase probably increases the chance that he will at least make it into the Derby starting gate.
It will be interesting to see where he runs next and how he performs.
You never know...

I wish you nothing but good luck with your future bet, however, Baffy has to be careful where he places SS so that he comes up with enough Graded stakes money to get to the starting gate. In what is shaping up as a tough SA Derby, he'd need a minimum 3rd place finish to have a shot earnings wise ($90k). It looks as though Domestic Dispute, Kafwain, Buddy Gil, Ocean Terrace, Ministers Wildcat, Logician, Atswhat.... the last three are desperate for Graded $.
