Forget the Derby excuses... What are the excuses for the 6 previous identical races he ran? The horse has been running the same race at the same speed since his debut. It's actually bizarre. Doesn't move forward.. doesn't regress. I've never seen anything like it in a 2-3 year old...

As crazy as it might seem, you COULD argue excuses for all his races this year, the early ones not being cranked up, the Wood was a good race, the fig came back a little light because he never left the rail, and then the Derby... I guess we'll see today.

Any Given Saturday romps today. I'm going to key him on top of Sightseeing for my exacta.

Nobiz was brilliantly named as he reminds me of Waiting for Godot.

He is?.....I was unaware of that. Ok, then I guess I will go with Any Given Saturday. Nobiz was my Derby horse & he dissapointed me. He was sitting
5th with no one around him. He had a perfect stalking trip in what should have been a stalkers pace & he never fired. I am not willing to give him another chance yet, not @ 6-5 anyway.

DRF said Frankel was probably going to scratch him but no confirmation on the NYRA site yet. . . I agree Nobiz is a big underlay- he just isn't that good. . . AGS or Sightseeing have it if Frankel scratches the winner. . .

With all the speed in the Tom Fool, does anybody give a chance to 20-1 rail horse - Awesome Twist...
to come flying late and get there at the wire? Ran well fresh a year ago. Why not at 20-1!!!
