I'm actually rooting against him in the Blue Grass so I get a better price on Derby Day.

Sign me up for that club!!!

I actually wrote about that very same thing on my blog right after the Juvenile. A loss here adds a few points on Derby Day, especially if it's to Great Hunter!

I was looking at the PPs for this race and have to wonder when Teuflesburg is going to get passed. I'm going to include him in my exotics and believe it or not - actually leave him in the 1st position on a couple.

Maybe he likes cold weather?

You thinking rail job? or center of the track?

I like Dominican or Zanjero to spring the upset. . . Teuflesburg isn't good enough, isn't a router, and will be hurt by the KEE bias. . . Street Sense won't be fully cranked and I'm not convinced yet that the Tampa race didn't take something out of him- that fast work won't exactly help that cause either. .. Great Hunter loves the KEE poly but O'Neill's derby horses have been a disappointment in recent weeks. . .

That makes sense. I don't have too much disagreement with you. I just think that Teuflesberg will be in front and if they wait until the stretch to pass him he could hang on for a piece. Your knocks on Street Sense and Great Hunter help my case. Track bias... eh I have noticed the majority of 'em don't wire but there are exceptions. The longer the race the longer Teuflesberg will be up there. Unless they try new tactics like Stormello for crying out loud.

I picture Great Hunter going around first then followed by Street Sense and Zanjero. Dominican is a very credible but I will be surprised if you can keep the two favorites out of the exacta.
