I pretty much agree with BTW about the race....
But I think it's fair of pgarden to add that the race was run at a crazy-fast pace for 3-year-olds to be running at, going that distance, this time of year.
I felt the rail was very live last Saturday...and that does take away from Stormello's performance....however, he set that torrid pace and only got beat a lip.
Scat Daddy was the most aided by the pace, but had to overcome racing wide over a track where that was not where the best footing was.
I'd say Nobiz is the only horse in this race with any kind of realistic Derby chance...as he simply didn't have a good trip, and continues to race very green and unprofessional. He's running out of time though....he needs to get his act together fast.
