I think Borel will continue to be successful in the Derby if he employs the tactics he used on Street Sense and Mine That Bird. With so many hopeless sprinters trying 10f's, any horse with stamina rallying from behind is guaranteed to pass a few.

Which is what kept the very average looking Elite Alex at 30-1 in Future pool 2.
