you mean LA derby,, right? I think did pretty well in his other attempts at going long before his LA derby win. He did finish 2nd in both the KY futurity (on poly) and the Juvy (2+ lengths in front of every horse but street sense) have his races set up for him? yes. but the derby usually has a fast pace, doesn't it? could he find trouble in the derby because of his style? absolutely. but, imo, i haven't seen a reason why he can't win that race based on his past performances. that's why the derby trail is great, we find different reasons to like different horses along the way.
