same five weeks Big Brown had.

obviously jokes but

Win Willy actually should train up to the Derby IMO.

Sell him , and get him to the gate.

I think he could flop in the Arkansas Derby

It has been some time since real contneders raced in the DT. I believe it used to be held on the Tuesday before the Derby.

though they have very little in common in regards to running style as soon as i read this i thought of Circular Quay............

to each is own, wouldn't be surprised if he floated up in the futures though

I think the last horse to win the DT and a TC race was Creme Fraiche?

Back to back years in the early 90s the Derby Trial winner placed in the Preakness.

I just heard Street Hero is coming out of retirement and going to Larry Jones who's going to just train him up to the Derby, "because he's had a tough campaign mounting mares and needs to be fresh for the biggest race of his life".

That is one crooked horse. His legs might snap if Jones ever got on him.
