There was no bias that day at all.....several horses made up signifcant ground with wide rallies--including a 64/1 shot winner.

And while Idiot Proof and Texas Voyager (by far the two best horses in the race) did survive the pace to finish 2nd and 3rd.....the 4th and 5th place finishers raced 14th and 13th (last and 2nd to last) after the 1st pace call

Idiot Proof is obviously no Derby horse...but his debut was very exciting visually, and he ran his eyes that day. He could be a very exciting sprinter.

No bias at all? Maybe maybe not but still believe Storm in May will be over used as wise guy horse due to his finish.

i don't think so, because i don't think he's going to blow his next field away and he won't look half as good. but his move that day (pace or not) was impressive....and speaking of pace...we all know how it will look on derby day.
