All conjecture of course.

I just thought he overcame a whole lot
of trouble, ran an extra long race and would
have won at 10f. The effort was very solid.

Loved how he galloped out. Perhaps The Bid is right and we didn't see any decent Derby contenders in this field, but if I had to choose one, it would most likely be him.

I am not entirely sure what a decent Derby contender is.
Pyro was amazing with his last 1/4. War Pass obviously has
to be considered. Cowboy Cal lost today on the turf but looked
good. Pletcher says he goes to the Bluegrass but dirt... So I am
not sure about contenders right now.

Its very hard to say oh so and so (not mentioned above) will beat the crap
out of this horse at 10f. For example I personally think the bad cat looks
very nice but going 10f at the pace he runs... heck I dont know.

Makes two of us. He seems to either find trouble or another horse who's better than him that day.

I think Big Truck is a "contender" at this point. I saw him run in the Remsen last Fall and was impressed then when he got up to finish Third. I was at the Top of the stretch that day and he totally got stopped at the top of the lane and lost ALL momentum. I'm not saying he was better than Court Vision on that day but in my opinion he ran very well to be third. Check out the photo I took as Big truck got stopped.

Court Vision and Big Truck are about the same in regards to the Derby, hopeless.

With the exception of War Pass and Pyro, which horse do you think has a legit shot at this point?

He really isn't much and I really didn't see anything that changes that. I think people are grasping for a contender right now, because there really hasn't been one step up other than the big two from last year and El Gato Malo. And haven't we seen enough good gallop outs to know that you have to take them with a grain of salt?

He led the entire race on grass and was beaten
late. Did not look bad at all to me. But as I said
that is grass and he is going to the Blue Grass
supposedly which will not tell us much.

I really dont care about gallop outs, all they really
show is that a horse is not completely wasted.

So I got the general opinion. Big Truck is mostly
a joke. Got that checked.
