Why Brother Derek's conections find it necessary for this horse to rate. Come on people, his most and only success came in wire to wire jobs. Every race after the SA Derby he has been rating and he hasnt done much. His best race after the SA derby was in the BC Classic but he was on a conveyer belt they called the rail on BC day.

I assume he is going to go in the BIG CAP and I hope they send him up front.

I thought Brother Derek was rating in those wire jobs too. Everyone else was just too slow to beat him to the lead.

Some horses can only win in a certain style and Bro DereK seems to like the front. IT wont hurt to see him do it in the next.

He tried to keep the lead at the BC last year, and everyone remembers what he did there...

Well in Dereks defense there, he did run quite well considering the horses who passed him were the probable HOY, probable 3yo champ, Premium Tap, and a former (although very average) Derby winner. Plus I dont think he's a pure 10f animal.
