That is the bad thing,he will run in the Florida preps and get beat bad. Maybe the new owners will run him once and just sit him to the Derby??

Between him and Decisive Moment there are some owners who must be licking there chops to get a Derby Horse

It kind of stinks that horses who probably aren't any good basically have their Derby spot given to them if they can choose this one race to win or run well in.

Well Decisive Moment has no business in the Derby but atleast it looks like he can move the pace some what. Would rather have a horse that does that then another stalker or sprinter who dies at a mile.

Everyone knows the rules going in. Maybe you should wait before anointing every 2yo maiden winner the next Derby champion.

Excuse me? Why don't you point out to me where I've done what you're accusing me of? That will take you an awfully long time because I've never once done that.

Dialed In and Labauru are two. You start a post with these, yet you post that horses that probably aren't any good basically have their Derby spots given to them.
Not that I think either of the Calder horses will win the Derby, but they've earn their ticket.

Wow, I don't even like Labauru- so I started a post. I started a post because he's well-bred (if you had bothered reading the thread, I agreed with Andy that he wasn't that impressive. I liked the runner up better anyway) - and since when does starting a post equate to thinking he's a Derby winner? I started a post about Dialed In because he was impressive. I think my comment at the time was - nice performance. Yes, I definitely said he was winning the KY Derby. Wow - did you break your neck jumping to those conclusions? My favorite horse for next year is To Honor and Serve - and I didn't even want him in the BC Juvenile because as talented as he is, I wasn't sure he was up to even finishing on the board.
