If anyone is looking for lightning to strike twice .. and hoping a more patient ride behind a much hotter Derby might somehow lead to impossible Derby paydirt again...

* Last place finisher Game Ball (24.39) won the ILLI Derby 2nd quarter. Look for him to improve greatly on his 55 Beyer next time he runs. Obviously won't be in the Derby.

* In the SA Derby - eventual 6th place finisher Alphie's Bet (24.39) won the 2nd quarter. He performed dismally as the 3rd choice. A little faster pace could help him improve a little I suppose.

* In the Wood - 3rd place finisher Awesome Act (24.53) won the 2nd quarter. Obviously a faster pace would be more to his benefit.. but his Gotham performance where he got such a pace wasn't much.
Hey Drugs-

What did you think about Setsuko's performance? I bet him in the santa anita derby and I think he could at least get a piece.

Am I out to lunch?
