I just hope he makes it all the way around.

I'm thinking he may hit the super, questionable ride, visually impressive move on the turn, I liked his race in the BC, he is going to go off some crazy odds.

There are a number of impossible horses pointing to the Derby (as there are every year) and Square Eddie is definitely one of them in my opinion.

i agree, even if he runs well or by chance wins. he will have to run 4 times in 7 weeks and he already looks tired the way he ran saturday. people love these big middle moves which rarely win on dirt anyway, it looks good but does not usually get the horse to the circle. it works great on those poly tracks but on dirt i'd rather have some tactical speed in most races. this horse is a very shaky proposition. make sure the price is right !

Nakatani opted for Eddie over Mr. Hot Stuff.

I do believe we have our 20th place finisher!

Reason to upgrade Mr. Hot Stuff with the way I've seen Corey riding.
