Now, I want Cowboy Cal to win the Derby worse than just about anyone I know, but let's be real.
Yes, he should get the dream setup and the perfect trip with his tactical speed and his style, and like you said, he should be sitting in a spot to get the first crack at the speed.
However, a dream trip will never eliminate the fact that he simply doesn't appear fast enough to win even with the perfect setup.
I will be thrilled to be wrong on this, however, but I doubt that I will be.
