I have no derby pick yet. I saw Pyro at FG but he's always chased War Pass, so let's see how WP fares this weekend.
Who knows, this could be the year that another theory goes down, gelding, 2yo champ.....what's next, no 2yo foundation?

At this point if I had a decent 3yo (funny thought huh?) I'd rather pay to play and run in the G2 FOY for $300k on the same day. Who the hell wants to run against War Pass for their share of $60k.
That's a pretty high allowance purse, maybe they were out rolling old ladies from the slot rooms to get extra change to raise the purse?

The horses he's running against can barely compete in high priced claimers....this should be interesting lol.

Post Time Odds? 1-20? At best? Or does somebody talk themselves into Web Gem and bring it up to a juicy 1-9?

I'll talk myself into Jet Run. After all, he IS the full brother to Water Cannon.

Given that Web Gem was owned by LaPenta until a day or two ago and clearly his "sale" was simply to facilitate filling this race for War Pass, I won't be using this one on my ticket.
