Right now I think Any Given Saturday is looking good. I remember when Thunder Gulch threw in a clunker in the Bluegrass and then won the Derby at 25-1.

I agree. this year and last seem to be getting so far from tradition... it'll be a wonder if anyone can win it. I don't know if Any Given Saturday will have enough earnings to make the Derby They thought they had a chance to pick up money in NY but it didn't happen.

However, I do believe that Stormello has excuses

Don't hold me to it but I think Stormello can still get the lead an still go a long long way
