Wimbledon worked well, but for me falls into the same category as Read the Footnotes off an AWFUL last race. On a metaphysical level, the bad vibes from Bailey and Baffert put me off as well, and the horse will probably be overbet.
I can only hope this isn't one of Jerry's "it's Baffert in Kentucky" horses, but I will probably have to let him beat me given the other, more positive looking longshots.
I worry about Master David on this level as well, but he's another one I'll probably let go. Frankel's done well in the Derby with horses that figured to do well going in (Aptitude and last year's runners looked like major contenders). I'm not sure he can rally this one up to a new top, and that was an awfully close call in the Wood to get him in...
I'll bite, who are the Haskins' Derby commandment horses? HP
