Carrying the hopes of California all the way to the Kentucky Derby

i disagree. Its not lack of dirt, its lack of luck. No pun intended.

Pioneer of the nile wins last year's awful derby without that great trip by mine that bird. Cali horses go one/two in the oaks. Blind luck might have been right there with a decent trip.
