Yes. And only because he ran well in his first dirt race. So his good dirt race validates, at least to some extent, his synth and turf form. Absolutely.

It's a fallacy that all synth horses are junk on dirt. Most are and will be but there are going to be some that run well on the junk in spite of it not being the horse's best surface. Is he one of these? Who knows but at this point he is one to watch in his next race.

Which is really all I've said. Again, to each his own on how to bet but I will never make a win bet on any of the top 5 or 6 "hyped" horses in the Derby. Sometimes the best or one of the best horses wins, but not often enough for my tastes.

I prefer to find a playably longshot and splash the horse around in the Tri and Super.

I'm not overly intelligent but I'm smart enough to understand the way I play the Derby is, in the end, no less of a gamble than playing a short-priced horse to win.

There's merit in betting what you think the best horse is to win. Most people do. But I'd never play the race that way.

So Yankee Bravo is on my list of possible horses to use.

I would never have brought up the rail bias on BC DAY '06 if I thought it was still controversial.Had no idea there were people that still thought there wasn't a huge inside bias that day.What a stubborn bunch of unteachables.

Only the rookies and learning disabled think that 1. Steve Garvey belongs in the baseball Hall of Fame and 2. the 06 BC rail bias was a real factor in the final results..

CANNON(plays Mr. Clean on T.V.)=a particularly stubborn unteachable.

Who has run like they did when they won that day? Don't say Street Sense,because he never even thought of stopping that day,and he was chugging late in the derby.

Well considering that Dreaming of Anna went back to the turf where she had a relatively successful year, the entire sprint field either retired or went back to claimers, Round Pond broke down, Invasor won a another race before calling it quits and Street Sense won the Derby there is not much to go by. Of course you could name all the horses that were hampered by the supposed bias that recovered and became champions. Like CQ and Great Hunter.

damn Scuds I thought you had some
guts and then you go low blow
personal again. Easy to make fun
of someone who has the record out
for all to see. Too easy.

You do like those late runners. I hope
we get a chance to see this horse where
you want him. Yes I do.
