My Derby Trend.....

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I have a hard time believing Congaree didn't run better than Monarchos in the Wood Memorial....and Indian Charlie ran a better race than Real Quiet did in the SA Derby as well.

I can see where a strong case can be made that real brillant talents like Congaree and Indian Charlie wouldn't be as suited to a fast paced 10 furlong race as a Monarchos or Real Quiet would---however, they both got beat on the square in their final preps.
