Who Did the Derby Gods Frown On The Most and Why

[blackthroatedwind]

I'm not a huge Union Rags fan, and wasn't interested in him Saturday ( I had to have one non-horrible opinion in the race ), but to ignore his trip is ridiculous. With all due respect to DrugS, his analogy to Bird Town is a poor one, as Union Rags had significant trouble, in a 20 horse field, that ( as Nick just pointed out ) put him in bad position to begin with, was exacerbated early in the running, and then even further complicated midway through the race. Whatever he might have done Saturday was completely compromised by his trip and it's silly to suggest otherwise.
