Almost everything I read about Wildcat Red, says he can't win The Derby, almost every handicapper says he is a toss in The Derby, But the fact is from 6 furlongs to 1 1/8 mile he is 5 for 7 with 2 seconds , 1 by a neck and the other by a head, To me he is almost undefeated 7 for 7, two losses in a photo. How many horses have won the Hutch, The Fountain of Youth, and The Florida Derby,(I know he lost The Florida Derby by a neck)(If Johny V did not open the rail for Pletcher's horse, Wilcat Red wins by 2) Calzone Lord, I know you know almost everything, of all the horses that won all three, how did they fare in The Derby? And seriously, what do you think of Wildcat Red's chances next Saturday? Thank You
