If by top 5, you mean Scat Daddy will run 7th in the Derby, then yes, I agree completely

I mean he (SD) will be in one of the top five spots. Sorry if I confused you.

I may have worded it funny.

Default Scat Daddy
Scat Daddy caught of couple of decent trips at GP winning the FOY and Fla Derby. And while he deserves credit for winning each of those races, how good was the competition? Does he really want to go 1 1/4 miles?? To me there was nothing awe inspiring about the last eighth he ran in either of those races which suggests to me that he's probably got a distance limitation of 1 1/8 miles. I think he needs a favorable post, a dream trip and a pace meltdown (think Giacomo) to win the Derby. We'll see.

I really agree with this assessment except for the competition part, he did beat everyone who showed up and the FOY field was pretty good. Scat Daddy just kind of goes about his business in a very ho-hum way. While a very nice horse I don't see him really kicking it in over the final two furlongs to either run horses down or hold horses off.

Didn't we all say the same thing about Barbaro last year? Only it was "he can only run on grass and wet dirt" and "who has he beaten".

I'm just trying to piece together the race, since we've already decided that Cowtown Cat will run 16th, Scat will run 7th, so I've already pieced together 10% of the results.

I would never put that in my sig, and you couldn't either, so ha!

I am still just hoping that Scat Daddy gets the 9 post, since we know that the #9 is going to win, regardless of who the horse is...

Put Prado on the Daddy in the Derby and I think he might pull away down the stretch!
