Problem with finding a reason to have used him in a race like the derby is you are comparing him to 19 others .. And it certainly didn't help that he came in via a scratch after most were done with the race. My friend who plays 4 days a year using my top 4 selections had him with a Secret Oath / All ticket. Good thing he didn't request my opinion before making the bet or use my Derby Top 4. Somewhere someone had a nice Cuban Sandwich All x 2 x 2 x All

I wonder if this year's result will create a Mine That Bird type phenomenon, where the longest shot on the board the next year was only 31.60-1 (Discreetly Mine), and in 2011 the longest shot was Decisive Moment at only 39.70-1.

Two years in a row and not one runner was over 40-1.
Amazing
