I just read where this horse is still being pointed towards the Derby. Please, someone tell me this isn't true. I cannot believe they would ruin this horse by putting him in the Derby.

I don't see him as having much of a chance to actually WIN the derby, but I can see him finishing in the super.

I hope he does. For the horses sake. But I cannot see this horse coming close to getting the distance.

Yeah, I don't really care for his dosage profile for the derby, but in the horse's defense, he did manage to run OK in the Rebel (which is 8.5 furlongs.)

You are so correct. But in my opinion, the races at Oaklawn this year have seem to be out of sorts for some reason.
