She may have zero shot...but I don't think if I had a horse I would not run her in a race simply because she was an "Unbridled's Song". She may not be "stout" but she has not exactly been babied, I'm pretty sure she's gone to the post more than any other "colt" in the field and although not going 9f ever, she has gone more than 8f in 5 of her starts and at least 8f in 8 of her 9 starts. The Derby will be her 10th start...in today's form of "racing" that is pretty stout I think. What injury problems has she had in those 9 starts?? She's run triple the races than the favorite in the race. Her numbers are not too bad compared to the rest of the field, and in all honesty better than most.
My only concern is she has not raced against the boys and she has tracked pretty slow paces in her last two wins with ideal setups. Don't know how they'll place her in a fast pace scenario.
I simply think to not run in a race becuase of who your sire is doesn't make a lot of sense. AT one time Bold Ruler's couldn't get 10f or something of that sort.
