After what I saw last weekend The Factor is now my #1 Derby horse. He should have no problem beating this group

I could be wrong but I don't think it's going to be as easy as you might think. I think Sway Away should like the extra distance. He could give The Factor some trouble in this one.

Elite Alex has to shine in this spot or else you can forget about him.

I like that he won a 5f debut race like a horse who isn't a slowpoke - and Borel has basically tried to manipulate his running style. Now he needs the Graded Earnings.

Fantastic field if they all run. I think Caleb's Posse deserves a long look after what happened to him at the top of the stretch last time.

You do realize that the horse is not by Giant's Causeway.

Baffert should put the horse in a bulletproof vest based on RHT's proclamation.

I must be forgetting about all of his champions and classic winners.

Name his top 5 current runners, since you are President of his fan club.

ok the factor is your number one horse for the derby....but he has not even gone two turns yet. i'll admit the horse looks good...could even win. so you are not telling anyone anything worth something i would bet on. plus if history proves correct this horse will stop if he's 6-5 or some ridiculous price. because these are the kind of horses you love...i'd rather be ripping them up then winning on that horse if he's chalk,, minus a pic tick( i'll use him)...........sometimes(most times) i think you just don't get it...
