I think it's far too early to call Brother Derek a lesser animal. He had a horrendous experience in the Triple Crown, he is a very efficient mover and has nice tactical speed. If he could learn to relax and rate a little better he could be a very nice horse. I loved the way he looked on track Saturday, he has matured nicely and muscled out well. I could see him developing a running style like one of my all time favorites, Medaglia d' Oro.

Hes much better than most people think. Hell have a good showing in the BCC. Rounding back into form. I was very impressed with his last race, he had a bad trip and still finished running.

Brother Derek should stay in California, Whenever he runs elsewhere he comes in 4th.........Derby,Preakness and Juvenile..He is a cut below, but in California, he is a cut above..........
