My "dreaded B" angle took a hit last year, but I'm sticking with it. Barbaro became the 2nd "B" horse in 70 years to win the Derby. Must've been plenty of good "B" losers, what with Bold Anything-You-Can-Think-Of always running.

I'm pretty sure the "dreaded B" angle is as good as most you will see posted here.
