No way....Giacomo had 1 win(maiden) going into the Derby.He had been a disappointment.This is why he paid more at Churchill than he did to people who played him in futures back in January.I think we saw this horse's best pitch yesterday,and someday we will see it again.I do believe this was his big race(like the Derby was Giacomo's big race.)Just like with Giacomo,everything came together that had to.I only saw the 2nd half of the card,but I reviewd the dirt races for the day.Tiago picked about the best day of the meet to be a rater(there haven't been many of those this meet.)Not like he was the only bomb on the dirt yesterday.I hope he does well in the Derby,but he and his half bro are not win machines.They are class horses that can win if things all line up right.I will say this though,TIAGO caught a horse who was not exactly swerving side to side.I mean Roxy ran pretty well late.
