hockey, I only mentioned Dunkirk as an argument against Miner's Escape somehow getting an easy lead. (and I was probably mis-interpreting ateam's post as suggesting that Miner's Escape DID have speed.)
Bottom line, though, is I don't see how lack of pace in the race is going to help Miner's Escape. There are good horses like Dunkirk and Charitable Man that will probably be in front of him early, and there are good horses like Mine That Bird, Summer Bird and Flying Private that will be coming late from the back of the pack.
As far as Dunkirk goes, there's obviously a lot of guesswork. Do you completely toss his Derby? I'm reluctant to toss races completely. If I toss Dunkirk's Derby, I'd have him at 7-2 tomorrow. As it is, he's closer to 9-2 in my line.
