the Illinois Derby is a way to either duck the big boys, or if your Pletcher or O'neil, a place to send a horse so you don't have to knock heads with another one of your contenders.
The Santa Anita derby does look awful right now. I read Tiago is pointing there as well, but it sure doesn't make that field look any better. I wonder if Rags to Riches is dealing with some minor issue, as I think she would have a great shot against that field.
