I admit I never thought much of Tale of Ekati before, or atleast considered him as one of the top 3 yr olds in the division. For him to win this race, IMHO this race cannot be rated highly if you were to compare all the derby preps when they are all accounted for. He got an absolute perrrr_fect trip today, the race was presented to him on a platter and give his rider all the credit, he landed squarely on it. I don't see this being an overly impressive performance by any means!
