I'll jump in Packer and say I like him as well. And like a few people in this thread, I like he and Street Sense best of all Saturday.
He's a little bit of a hanger, but he did fight back on SS in the TBD.
I like that he hit 100 in the Beyer Scale as a Two Year Old.
I like that he got his bounce race out of the way in the Wood.
I like that he's bred to run all day.
I like he took a more traditional route to the Derby. Not trying to buck 100 trends.
I like Pletcher. I love the switch to Gomez.
I don't like the hanger factor. I don't like that he has not show an "explosive" stretch drive since last year but I think he might be sitting on a big one.
All that being said, if he's the "wise guy" horse as has been mentioned elsewhere and he's 7-1 or something like that, I'll have to hit the re-evaluate button.
