Default Beyer's Bodemeister/Daddy Nose Best exacta

http://www.drf.com/news/beyer-bodeme...st-cold-exacta

As is often the case, I agree with pretty much everything Beyer says in that DRF article.

In particular, I haven't understood why Union Rags gets so much love, when he's never delivered a bsf better than 96. He looks like one of several good but hard-to-separate Derby horses that are a level below Bodemeister. Union Rags may be the most consistent and most battle-hardened of that 2nd tier group, but IMO he's done nothing to show he's got the most ability.
