I think that while Quality Road's Florida Derby can be questioned a bit because of his trip, his Ftn of Youth is really not getting enough respect. He was right on a very hot pace that afternoon and still finished up strong. That was a very strong effort and it seems like it's been somewhat forgotten.
If you want to talk about perfect trips and horses who probably won't enjoy one again in the Derby, I have two words for you: Friesan Fire.
