Who Did the Derby Gods Frown On The Most and Why

The more that I have watched the race back, the more I think Went The Day Well ran a very good race. He doesn't need to be placed in the back of the pack to be effective go forward.

He clunked up.

He'd make a tremedously good bet against if he ran in the Belmont.

I disagree. He came from far back of the pack and was the only one that had real run of those from far back. That run was not clunking.

They ran the final quarter in 26.64 over a supersonic fast race-track.

That was like a 28 and change final quarter most years. Everyone was stopping late.

I'm thinking he's going to be a tremendously good bet against in the Preakness, where Motion has him pointed next.
