the data is the data, it's pretty clear that the big jump in the final prep doesn't impact their ability to run their race in the Derby
to dismiss an otherwise fast horse in the Derby because they ran a big new top in their final prep is dumb, plain and simple
there are other reasons to throw horses out but a bounce isn't one of them
would have cost someone 4 out of the last 6 derbies if they too that approach

guy has a very good day job but could absolutely compete with the publicly available products and sell his content so he's not anxious to give it away
he and I disagree on a bunch of stuff this year so it will be interesting to see how this breaks
