I thought your taking such execption to Steve saying to not ignore the horse may have been mistakenly based on thinking that he was predicting a win.

So to you a monster is any horse outside of California and you start your handicapping on Derby saturday with the racing form. okaaay. very well then, but this sounds foolish. In one sense you are saying you haven't even started handicapping yet, while at the same time you are ruling out any horse from California? That is very arbitrary.

Each horse should be evaluated on its merits not based on the state where they prepped. In general I would agree that the CA horses are not overly strong this year, but its too soon to start ruling out an entire region haphazardly. I would for sure not rule out Great Hunter or Tiago at this point.
Great Hunter is the goods. Every passing day I like his chances more.
