Before Saturday, I thought Tapiture had to be considered at least on the "B list" for Derby contenders. Especially off his record at Churchill Downs.

don't get me wrong, he was horrible Saturday.

But Rosario bails on him to ride General A-Rod? This is not another attack on that horse, but wouldn't mainstream logic be that Tapiture is a stronger contender, despite the awful Saturday performance. We all know Churchill is one of those "Horse for the course" tracks where certain horses thrive.

Wondering how awful Rosario must think Tapiture is. Have to downgrade that horse even further off this decision.
