I have no premise. I'm not making any predictions that she will be in the Derby, that she could win the Derby, or anything else. The only thing that I did was rate the three year olds on how I see them right now. Right now, I haven't seen those that have done more than her and are more deserving of the ranking that I gave her than she is. Speculation and predictions for the future are great but they are also worthless. In sports, you've got to beat the champion in order to take their title away. It's not just handed to you. Until I see more that PROVE they can do more than her, I'm leaving her up there. If that's funny to you, I'm happy to entertain. If it bothers you, I'm sorry you take it so personal.
One last thing. As I've always said, I don't rate the 3yo's only based on Derby potential. There are plenty of other races in which to make a name for yourself besides the Derby.
