Dortmund has shown to be a serious threat to win this year's Kentucky Derby. What can derail this ultra-impressive colt?

Injury.

A faster horse.

A bad post position.

A bad trip.

A bad ride.

A bad day.

Just to name a few things.

Default No He Can't!!

Look at these pictures!! He's like Forego!! He can do it all, and is peaking and learning at the right time! He is sound and has the foundation and toughness to get through the Triple Crown!!

I look at him and immediately think of Point Given, so yeah, he can be stopped.

If the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, then I sure hope Dortmund draws post #20 in the Kentucky Derby. This is a great horse and for me personally, it's like 2008 all over again

Dortmund ain't Big Brown, and this also ain't 2008.

As your reasoning is vacuous.

2008 was a dreadful crop.

Not true for this year.
