If Chelokee were to be entered, he would be one of the "wiseguy" horses. After hearing about his Florida Derby run before seeing it, I thought that his trip was not as terrible as it was made out to be. I'd toss him if he were entered in the Derby.

What you did not see is his race prior to the Florida Derby. He had even a worse trip and yet re-rallied to win it in style. In that ALW race at gulfstream he was bumped pretty good and shuffled from 5th to last at the half mile pole and made a nice rally weaving in-n-out to win it. That was the reason I made a huge win/place bet on him in the Florida Derby. He was tucked nicely inside and was waiting for some room he never could get. He still switched to the outside to make a nice effort to come third.
