Thorograph and Ragozin clearly have a difference in opinion regarding the last few derby preps. A question for Thorograph... do you guys take into account the fact that both Came Home and Harlan's Holiday were ridden quite hard for the last three or four furlongs in their final prep? Meanwhile, Buddah was reserved until mid stretch by Pat Day. If Mccarron and Prado had reserved their horses like Day did, and their times were even slower, would you have raised their figures? If Day had used Buddah a bit more would you have lowered his? It appears as though Ragozin is taking a stand here, saying Buhhah has a lot more potential than Came Home or Harlan's holiday because he simply has not been used yet, while you guys are not concerned with potential, just the final time and trip? Is this a fair characterization?
