Stevie Wonderboy won the BC Juvenile on the east coast before he got hurt. Hopefully, he will be back. Brother Derek got two very good fourths in two TC races and a fourth in the BC Juvenile when his trips were horrible. He will win more stakes races. Bob and John won the Wood Memorial. Sinister Minister won the Bluegrass Stakes. He was also a west coast horse.

What are you telling me that I don't know? I know Lava Soap is an older horse; I referred to the others as contenders for the TC (and I'm quite aware that that means they are 3 yr olds). Where was Bo's two "very good" 4ths in the TC races?
"BJ" won the Wood and hasn't been seen within shouting distance since.
You just made my point....they were all the "top" contenders till the going got rough.
I'd like to have a dollar for everytime I heard Cause To Deceive had everything you need to win the Derby...of course that was before he left the friendly confines of Northern Cal.
