I guess if Curlin or Cherlokee get in on earnings, there may be a case made to go long, but it appears to be shaping up to be mundane, unfortunately.

Funny how you see it that way, because for me at least -- this has been one of the most fascinating Derby trails in memory (though in my defense, I'm only acutely aware of about the last six or seven, as I was too young and not interested hardcore enough to follow them before that). I've mostly been fascinated with the way the BC Juvenile has acquitted itself as an actual key race for this year's Trail, when normally it has little bearing on the Road to the Roses. Your top four finishers in the BCJ are arguably going to be among the top five or six wagering choices in the Derby. Last time anything like that happened? Ever?

I've never had so much fun on the Trail than I am having this year.
