Obviously the SA Derby fell into Tiago's lap but it was only his fourth or fifth race. I'm not an especially big fan of his chances in the Derby, but I'm certainly interested in seeing how he progresses, as mediocre and distance challenged a field as the SA Derby was, and Sam P. got a very curious and mediocre ride, it doesn't seem fair to dismiss Tiago. He may well run a non-threatening race in the KY Derby, but for a horse with such little experience to have run at least the decent race he ran Saturday it doesn't seem logical to dismiss him. It hardly seems like the strongest contingency we've seen lining up for the first Saturday in May.
He's certainly improved a lot more in his short career than NoBiz Like Showbiz has. Why shouldn't he have more upside?
