He was good enough to overcome Rose in the next two. Missed out in that Derby and still bitter, tri-boxed Alex with my wife's two horses as a joke, Closing Argument and Don't get Mad.

I think maybe your computer is running slow. Might want to get that checked.

Bingo.

Plodders don't win one-turn races like the Holy Bull and his maiden race. I am in the closing sprinter/miler camp as well.

He may end up being better long term as a closing sprinter/miler, but he was moving pretty good at the end of both of his 1-1/8 races. I'm not inclined to bet him to win on Derby day, but I think he still has potential to be a classic distance horse.
