Derby preps in general are so overrated. I dont understand all the attention they get. I had as much interest in this race as a harness race.

Just got in from TBD and have to say that at 1-9 (bought down to 1-5) expected a lot more from him... The field was sad (Last year Deputy Glitters at least showed up @ 40-1) the only horse that looked on paper to be worthy of the field was the 4 ( Monster something...) and He's never seen a mile + in his life...Local fave gets 2nd under Lezcano and puts up a great effort.

saddest moment of the day was Zito trotting out Superfly in a 19k allowance...The horse looked like it needed an ambulance to get to the finish line in the paddock...didn't stop "Tampa Faithful" from sending him off @ 6-5....Obviously never hit the board....

I wasnt attacking anyone, just laughing at the quality that we've seen from Tampa preps. Its a track where horses either love or hate it. Hard to gauge a horse's talent from any race run on it. Deputy Glitters looked like a rocketship on it last year and he never amounted to much. Toy track.
