There's something that needs to be mentioned in every discussion on this message board about the Derby. We have just been treated to seven of the worst Derby preps in the last 20 years. There has been very, very little to like about any of them (Wood-Spiral-Sunland Derby-Fla Derby-Wood-Ill Derby-SA Derby). In that time period there was a pretty damn good performance by a filly.
There are plenty of factors that go into whether she could be competitive in the Derby. They should be weighed by her connections. No one is saying she should go or would be a great fit, but hell, there's no way I'd completely dismiss it if I owned her.

I would take the top 3 in the Santa Anita Derby this year '09 (Pioneerof the Nile, Chocolate Candy, Mr. Hot Stuff) '08 (Colonel John (maybe), Bob Black Jack, Coast Guard) and 07 (Tiago, King of the Roxy, Sam P.)
I would say this year's Wood Memorial is even with Tale of Ekati's.
Dialed In's Florida Derby over '10 (Ice Box, Pleasant Prince, Rules) and '07 (Scat Daddy, Notional, Chelokee)
I'm in the minority, but I don't think this year has been as bad as the rest of you do.
