This is a redboard, but as I perused the PPs and pedigrees, I gravitated to Sangster as the horses who was most likely to win the Derby if Manawanui didn't stay, which I didn't think he would. Did I bet? No, of course not. I'm such an idiot.
(One thing I liked about the pedigree is that he has Affirmed as second damsire. Affirmed was a good sire of runners but not of sales yearlings, so he never got the respect he deserved. Sangster also has Dancer's Image, Nodouble, and Hold Your Peace in his background, other horses who did better than most people think.)
