I think a lot of us remember seeing him run second in the Tropical Park Derby and the Lanes End and saying to ourselves, "Wow! That is the Derby winner right there!!"

Am I right in thinking that this will be the horse's debut on a REAL dirt surface? How ridiculous.

I always think it's a smart idea to run an obvious turf horse in the Kentucky Derby.

Longest shot on the board? Or will that distinction go to Storm in May or I'mawildandcrazyguy?

Exactly. One more throwout sounds good to me. I have no idea what to make of Chelokee, so I'd be just fine with some of these turds nudging him out of the gate.

Well, I guess I am with you guys there.
As a fan of the sport....I wish this horse wasn't in here. As a handicapper that hopes to make some money on the race however, I suppose I appreciate him being in.

I have the same sentiment. As a fan, I'd like to see a horse like Chelokee get in, as a handicapper, I'll take all the help I can get with the no-hopers getting in.

I also have to agree as well. Now that we all agree, Sedgefield will run in the money. It seems to always work that way.

For me it was his fourth place finish in the Transylvania that screamed "Derby winner".
