i think the illinois derby was perfect for him, but i don't think he has a chance to win come may 5. that track played to his strengths, closers couldn't close, and the only other 'speed' in the race ran very poorly.
besides, i can't imagine a horse named cowtown anything being forever immortalized as a derby winner...
