Boring Derby??

[tector]

When the best horses in a race are all tactical speed types, there is no cheap speed,so the pace is not pressed, you are going to get a chalk-fest like today's Derby. It was extremely formful, and might as well have been a 5 horse stakes race like Santa Anita and Belmont grind out with regularity now. The rest of the horses were window dressing and most never had a realistic opportunity to be involved.
