John..

You have no excuse! If you go back to the Yahoo DT, and you were certainly a member then, you'll recall that I wrote extensively about that Santa Anita Derby and was high on the top 4 coming out of it. And the funny thing is that the horse who may have been most likely from it, General John B (Roger Stein!), got hurt and couldn't make Derby. Wilko (6th) and Buzzard's Bay (5th) both turned in solid efforts in the Derby though, further confirming the form coming out of Santa Anita...

His progeny are yearlings. They hit the track in '11.

this can't be right; there's an obvious bias against west coast horses!!

I can neither confirm or deny what was said by you on Yahoo DT. There was plenty of criticism of that SA Derby. It could have been the OTB gang. It was one hell of an opportunity lost. (for me anyway) Hope you cashed.
