Stormello was impressive carving out those fractions but have to believe that Gulf has been kind to inside speed.
Curlin was best in subpar Rebel. Nice move but strongly believe he is not Derby material with three max preps under his belt
Cobalt Blue led small paceless race wire to wire.
I likes SS race in TB Derby although he got a nice inside trip tailor made to Borels riding style again. Also like AGS effort and feel that this was strongest prep yet. SS far exceeded my expectations as i will admit tried to catch a straight AGS/Most Distinguished exacta
Maybe NBLS coming back was a mirage but fact then is that he was still running at end even though others were tiring.
Notional in RS might be best effort i have seen despite CQ incident
