The bottom line for this particular KY Derby is that if War Pass stays sound and gets the trip/distance then everyone else is running for second. Both are always big ifs in horse racing but I honestly think Stevie Wonder could figure that out about this year's Derby.

I completely disagree. There are three horses at this point that I think would give him a run for his money even at 1 1/8 miles. He may even get beat before the Derby depending on who decides to go up against him. I know one of the ones I am thinking of won't go up against him though for sure before the big dance.
In all of War Pass's races except for his maiden win where he didn't go up against anything special and didn't win by a big margin either, War Pass has always gotten a loose lead. That certainly will not happen in the Derby. I refuse to believe this horse is the second coming of Seattle Slew based on what I have seen from him.
