Not to be dismissive, but I don't even think about that stuff, and the only way I will even get involved in betting the Derby is if some horse gets a couple of impossible trips leading into the Derby. Why would I play that race any different that any other race I choose to bet? Chances are I won't even bet it.

To me there are two horses at the top of the heap.....NoBiz and Street Sense. I will be extremely surprised if Tiz Wonderful makes it to the race and I am certainly not interested in any flashes in the pan. Those two horses have been FAR more impressive than anyone else I have seen.

But, it's pretty early.

You're not the dismissive sort, even when frank, you still answer any question asked of you (thanks!).

So lets forget talking about who will wear the roses, but speak of quality...you don't think Street Sense benefited deeply from the track conditions on Breeder's Cup day?

Sure, he got a great trip, but he was still pretty scary. Even if you say the trip moved him up five lengths then his race was very strong. When you couple that with his prior race at Keeneland you have a pair of extremely stron efforts. His Keeneland trip was easily as bad as his BC trip was good. However, he obviously still has to run well this year.
