Depending on how the rest of his year pans out, I could see Paddy winning it. Lucky is the favorite right now, but how important is the Indiana Derby?? I can't see him winning the classic. If, and it's a big if Paddy wins the Hirsch and then runs respectable in the turf (which will probably be equally if not more difficult than Lucky winning the classic) I would say he would be a deserving 3YO champ.
