Oh yes! Visionaire in the slop/fog. Might be worth a ponder if it happens to downpour Saturday.

The BCJ was of course run in the slop. Off the top of my head, I know Pyro and Tale of Ekati are Derby contenders that ran in that race. There are probably one or two others as well that I can't think of right now.
One of the Zs perhaps?

Nope. I looked it up. Z Humor, but not Z Fortune, ran in the race.
Tale of Ekati finished 4th.

If it rains, I'm going to contemplate a pretty strong bet on Big Brown. I haven't seen his tommies, but slop at Churchill would seem to favor the speed.

just keep in mind what happened the last time there was a rainy day at churchill. i think the top three early were also the top three late, with smarty passing lion heart.

Close, Limehouse (who was 3rd most of the race) got passed in the shadow of the wire by the closing Imperialism.

You know what I wish we had more of? Derby Trail meteorologists that make declarative statements about track condition 4-5 days away from the race, and endless hypothetical discussions about who will run well in the slop.
