If you compare Giacomo's form with Tiago's form---not only does Tiago's not look any better at all....but Giacomo's form was littered with sneaky good efforts.
All those people who felt the need to knock Curlin, based on historical old trends and stuff, well shouldn't the same apply to Tiago?
He was less than one week away from not racing as a 2-year-old, and he's only had four career races.
I guess Tiago's this years version of what people call "the wiseguy horse" -- but, I never really "got" that term anyway....so I don't know.
If I had to take a horse out of the Santa Anita Derby---it would most certainly be Sam P. --- I felt he got very rank in blinkers for the first time in the SA Derby, he's as one-paced as they come--and Ramon isn't going to move too soon....he can round out a superfecta for sure.
