I have no knocks on Carroll at all - but I think you are really overplaying this 'he galloped Easy Goer' thing a lot.

In my always humble opinion, the fact that he got up on Easy Goer (who lost the Derby at 4/5, lost the Preakness at 3/5, and lost the Breeders Cup Classic at 1/2) doesn't really mean that much to me when we are talking about Denis Of Cork.

I believe whoever is calling the shots with DoC is doing a masterful job.

A FG Alw race, followed by a Graded stake that features Turf War and the returning Riley Tucker as the two favorites, followed by the Ill Derby is taking the path of least resistance into the Derby.
