I thought Old Fashioned would get the 9f at Oaklawn, but I held no illusions about his chances in the Derby.
There were a lot of excuses made after the Southwest, particularly when the Southwest fractions were compared to the fractions of a filly/mare claimer run at a mile two races earlier on the Southwest card. Some even reached back to Smarty Jones's Southwest to put a positive spin on Old Fashioned's Southwest. A Smarty Jones he was not. Probably not even a Rockport Harbor.
