Very nice work! I read a few of them and thought they covered a lot of ground, all of it well written. I especially liked the write-up on Firing Line, who I think will be one of several overlays in the Derby.

As an intro to the Derby field, the only thing lacking, IMO, was a mention of the comparative speed with which the horses won their races. For example, no mention that Carpe Diem has yet to run a particularly fast race. But I can see where speed figs may be beyond your target audience.

Thanks for posting it. I'll point a couple of friends to the post.
