I think its Gayego. His Arkansas race proved to a lot of people he isnt just a sprinter. Add in Mike Smith, a guy who rode the last big Derby surprise, if you will (Giacomo). His trainer is a fun guy to root for, a la Farda Amiga, not one of those arrogant asses we have become so accustomed to seeing on "the Big Stage."
Its really hard to find many knocks on him. The only one was he was only a polytrack (cushion) horse, but thats been debunked with his Ark win.
He can definetely win this race but probably wont be the overlay his backers wanted. Thinking he will go off between 10/1 and 15/1.
