Default Is Great Hunter a toss?

I liked Great Hunter going into the derby. Now that he is coming out of the 20 hole, is he a toss? He is one of those horses that I think has some tactical speed. I do not see him trying to clear the field. So does that mean he will be stuck going 7 wide around the turn? What do you think he will do? and does he have a legitimate shot to hit the board? I personally think he became a toss. Just looking for everyone elses thoughts.

I think you are right. Curlin and Great Hunter, are victims of the draw, and neither are good enough to overcome it.

I have to agree with everyone. His only hope is that he gets lucky and finds an opening down the frontstretch to where he can glide over. That wont happen so I think he is a toss.

I love Great Hunter here, there is plenty of time to get over to the 4-5 path before the first turn. Id much rather be out there than anywhere near the rail.

With his style I don't think the 20-hole is a death sentence necessarily. . . I'll still use him underneath. . .
