Don't know if he can get 1 1/4 but I do know he is the fastest 3 yr old in the land. The question becomes what # would it take in his next race for him to be a bet on Derby day? I think that # is a 3-4. If he x's completely, there is a smaller chance that he will return to his top but if he runs a 3-4, it will show that he is healthy and will probably take dead aim at the -2 in the Derby. You don't ever want to leave out the fastest horse in the Derby.
Chris: Minister's Wild Cat is a little too slow but if he is 12-1 or more I will key him.
I am not crazy about DD's pattern as TG is but if he is going to fire then this is the race he will fire but he can go to a 0 and still finish out of the money. Not a bet for me.
