I'll probably end up talking myself into Blue Exit in the American Derby. Rouget almost won the American Oaks last weekend with a lightly raced horse (although she had been running against much better) at a nice price. This horse is stepping from listed stakes but hasn't finished out of the tri in his career. Should also appreciate the stretch-out. . . Pedigree may be useless at this point but this one has some noteworthy horses on his dam's side. His dam is a half to Dynaformer as well as the mare that produced Oflee Wild. Tizdejavu is clearly the one to beat but I think he may get some pace pressure from the other Euro - who's been on the lead in 7F races in Ireland. If Blue Exit can stalk those and they weaken he doesn't have to be much to win.
