As of right now, he is my Derby value play. If you take a hard look at the Arkansas Derby he was 3-4 lengths better than Gayego. Breaking from an outside post, he was a good 6-7 paths out in the first turn and he was outside again on the far turn coming home and he still closed on Gayego. Im not sure how many more feet he travelled but I would bet at least 100. Id love to get something like 20-1 on him.

I don't care if he was wide. If he was any good he would've blown by Gayego in the lane.

I dont understand how you can say that. He was clearly wide throughout which costed him a couple of lengths anwyays and he ran right alongside Gayego down a long stretch at Oaklawn. He lost by 3/4 of a length, it's not like Gayego was opening up on him. I think Z Fortune is the better horse, my opinion.
