They gave the Derby winner a lot of respect, but the Derby didn't seem to be one of the faster ones so I didn't like him. I think he benefited from a rail skimming ride from a rider that might have been paying attention when Calvin Borel used such tactics to win a few Derbies. As for the one horse, I thought he deserved to be in the mix because of his big race at Santa Anita. The horse that I had the most trouble including was Saudi Crown based on his Breeder's Cup races in which he was beaten badly at both a mile and a mile and a quarter and also, his two best races at a mile and an eighth were both wet track efforts so didn't know whether that would translate to a fast track. Probably that last is a bit of over handicapping on my part.
