Funny you ask...I just checked the extended weather forecast the there is a 60% chance of showers on Derby day. I would agree that Any Given Saturday moves up a little. But for the most part everyone will remain the same. The year Smarty won the Derby, Lion Heart was 2nd and he was the speed with Smarty stalking him.
