I liked this Twitter response particularly:

Josh Dutzy ‏ @JoshD3173
@AKonSports you wrote the worst horse racing article I have ever read, that is all.

Interesting tidbit from Jerardi of DRF:

As to this Derby, I am now convinced that, unless your horse has top-end speed, you really want to be in the auxiliary gate. Since 1995, in races with 16 or more horses, the second gate has produced eight winners or exactly 50 percent.

If Guyana Star Dweej runs, hopefully, he'll draw next to Went the Day Well.
