Which is worse ... the fact that Giant's Causeway has a race named after him for fillies and mares going 5.5 furlongs on the turf at a track he never raced at ... Or the fact that First Dude has a race named after him for fillies and mares, ON THE TURF, at a track he also never raced at. |

Based on his AW debut in the Spiral wouldn't 6-1 on Holiday Promise be a gift in the Lexington? I really like him here.

no, he doesn't. he ran in this country, what, twice? the shame is that seattle slew hasn't got a race named after him. but they'd just re-name it after some horse who doesn't deserve it later anyway.

I'm not sure any dominant performance (beside from Johannesbourbon) would sway my derby picks at this point, but I think Morgans Guerrilla wins this. I'd go 1-10-6

I like #2 Wild About Marie in the Giants Causeway.
Some speed has scratched out, but she should make her run regardless. This is a battle tough multiple black type winner who is 5-8 on turf. No way she holds at her 6-1 ML price. Seems to run well anywhere, including the Kee turf. |
