I consider the Tomlinson, dual qualifiers and center of distribution to get some feel for the obvious. Only a few could i put in a definative collumn of YES or NO WAY. Most others are a question and probably more about fitness level.

I am ready to ask Doctor Lauren Stitch.

Ignore that crap. El Corredor was a sprinter/miler (a very good one at that), but having Dixieland Band underneath should make sure 10F is in his reach. It'll be stretching it, but think about the horses that have won the Derby the last 5 years that "couldn't get the distance":
Our Emblem x Lord at War
Distorted Humor x Slewacide
Elusive Quality x Smile
Holy Bull x Stop the Music
Dynaformer x Carson City

So out of the 5, only Giacomo had "true" distance (and you could even argue that Holy Bull was truly an incredible miler that could stretch his ability.)

If the race works in his favor and he gets a good trip, he should be fine.
