My comparison was...
Take a look at the past performances of MTB before the 2009 Kentucky Derby and Etched before this year's Classic and tell me who looks more likely to win a respective 10 furlong race at Churchill Downs. I am saying Etched does have better qualities to win this year's Classic than MTB had to win the 2009 Derby.
All that being said, I still think Etched is a longshot and would never be my pick to win the race...but he's got some usability angles. If I'm alive in a pick four going into the Classic, I wouldn't mind a $.50 ticket alive to Etched.
