This is my favorite angle twice a year, Derby and Breeders Cup. Especially The Derby because of field size and all the possible traffic problems that can occur. I remember someone in 2005 on the old espn board talking / posting about a "plodder", one that would keep coming. He was right. Ever since then I have tried to find that.

Of all the races to look for that live shot, good grief this is the one given the possible payoff at the window. Plod your way to second, plod your way to third. Neither one Travis is easier then the other the first Saturday in May in this race in my humble opinion, and man this race sure looks more and more like a "plodders" type race.
