So, yes

That and your signature says you think he will finish 7th, so it seems appropriate that you include him in the 7 slot in your top 7.

Well, naturally. I want to be as prophetic as possible at all times.

I normally would agree, but he's just looked so good all three times he's raced. He doesn't seem to have any bad habits, he rates like an old pro -- he's got everything I could want in a horse who might break all sorts of Derby angles with a win.

I could see him easily running well out of the money given the other factors the race brings to young, inexperienced horses -- but so far, he's given me no reason to doubt his natural ability and that may very well me enough. I just think he's one of those who just might be that good.

But if there's anything late resembling a dogfight, I'd take Sense and Saturday over him -- Sense for obvious reasons and while Saturday keeps coming up on the wrong end of photos, he's going to get one to go his way one of these days.

I think that photo that AGS will finally win will be in the Peter Pan stakes at Belmont, not the KDerby.
