I thought Brother Derek was rating in those wire jobs too. Everyone else was just too slow to beat him to the lead.

Some horses can only win in a certain style and Bro DereK seems to like the front. IT wont hurt to see him do it in the next.

He tried to keep the lead at the BC last year, and everyone remembers what he did there...

Well in Dereks defense there, he did run quite well considering the horses who passed him were the probable HOY, probable 3yo champ, Premium Tap, and a former (although very average) Derby winner. Plus I dont think he's a pure 10f animal.
