Scat Daddy is a good horse, but there have been distance questions on him for a long time, and the conventional wisdom is that he will not get faster at longer distances. Add to that the fact that he hasn't run a triple digit Beyer, and you don't have a good profile for the Derby.
That said, I think he is as professional and consistent as anyone in here. Put him in the hands of Pletcher and nothing would surprise me. I think he has a good shot at a top 5, but not the win. I'd compare him to More Than Ready.
