Chelokee only showed that he doesn't have the heart to deal with the class of horse he would have seen in the Derby. The ride he got from Dominguez was as good as any one could have expected - and believe me, there isn't a bigger RD critic on this board than me - the horse simply didn't fire when the opportunity arose and RD urged him.
I'm confused by the lack of respect given Scat Daddy here - he has done everything asked, and has actually faced stiff competition since the Champange...Why no love? He's got as good a shot as No Biz or Great Hunter
at this point, and may even be inclined to put him up with Street Sense. He sure looked today like 1 1/4 won't be an issue....He's moved up on my list for sure.
