Win Willy won't be winning on Saturday

This is actually getting kind of funny.

I feel bad for Mac, though he doesn't seem to be that bothered by it...which doesn't really surprise me in the least.

I agree with whoever said it's getting kind of funny. All these stragglers are getting in, and the list of real contenders has been dropping steadily for weeks now.

What looked like one the more exciting runnings of the Derby now looks more like an obstacle course. Four horses running for the win around 16 moving pylons trying to block their way.

It's a good thing a lot of the later additions (well some, anyway) will be taking up room at the back of the pack as opposed to showing speed and dropping quickly on the turn, with 12 horses coming-up from behind them.

I agree... I was so excited for an amazing Derby a month ago.... Now like you said.. 4 contenders and 16 pretenders (and you know two of those pretenders will be in the super so it makes it way difficult)

It is, and it isn't. Everytime somebody drops out that wasn't a factor anyway, which is pretty much everyone this week except QR, I'm thinking the field is better without another slow horse...Five minutes later I hear that an even slower one has taken his place.
