After 20 preps - the tally is now 14-5-1 in favor of last year. Two of this past weekends 3 Derby preps went faster than last year.

Sidney's Candy won the San Felipe with a figure 2.5 lengths faster than Pioneer of the Nile got in his San Felipe win last year. But, he benifited from a BS figure that I feel was given solely to make Zenyatta's race faster than Zardana's.

Amazingly - Odysess's 93 in victory in the eyesore that was the '10 Tampa Derby was faster than Musket Man's 90 in his TBD win last year.

The horse who was 3rd beaten 2 lengths to Musket Man in last years TBD has been running in 12K and 16K claimers at Philly Park.
