Dancer in Trop Derby
 

Did Soldier's Dancer have an excuse in his last race when he was odds on and came in second? Given he was odds on last race don't you think he will go off as the fave this race and be around 3-2?

Thanks in advance...

fwiw, he had a real good trip in his last race as did the winner. F Po stuck to the rail the entire race from the 2 post and got thru inside at the 1/8 pole. Soldier's Dancer had the trip right behind him while 5th/6th most of the way. SD swung out into the 3 path at the 3/16 and had a pretty clear shot but got into his highest gear a little late to catch Fernando Po.

btw, you can see Calder replays (as well as for all Churchill tracks) for free on their website. Requires free registration.

PSH, you were right about 3-2. I placed my bet early so I didn't have a choice. He put me on the plus side to start the year.

Thanks Bogey
 

I too had him and he put me also back in the plus side today and for the year. More importantly, you were right about the win.....
