By the way, this "slow" horse improved his top Beyer by 13 points in his sophomore debut, and has a graded two-turn win over the CD surface.

You only continue to prove my point. My argument was with you calling him a " complete wild card " and, as you have further shown, he is anything but.

I don't give a sh it what he does, or where he does it, but he is far from a " complete wild card. " That's all.

Well, considering the title of this thread is "Derby Trail Next Start-Likely/Possible", what he does and where he does it are relevant to the discussion.

And feel free to define "wild card". My point is that he is going to the Derby off of a synthetic prep, which will very probably mask any progress he has continued to make since turning three. Maybe he hasn't progressed any more than he showed in his last start. Or maybe he has. Who knows? I don't. So I'm calling him a wild card. Sorry. A COMPLETE wild card.

The Packers were a Wild Card this year. So there.
