i agree with dahoss, the lackluster field contributes greatly to the lack of 'wow' regarding the derby.
keep in mind that every year a horse wins the race, it always has a winner....also, reference the lack of any real respect for the horse who won the second fastest derby EVER, monarchos-he also gets ignored, and beat a much better field than what entered the gate last may. if monarchos gets ignored, why not big brown? he had his moments, but he's not worth re-hashing.
