then Adore the Gold is not fast enough either because Nobiz, SD, and stormello all ran by him.

Those horses were all way more seasoned at that distance that Adore the Gold. ATG also got the worst post position. We saw the best those other three have to offer and it barely beat ATG despite the circumstances. ATG should move way up next race.

Nobiz had run 9f in the Remsen, but I don't think Stormello or Scat Daddy ever ventured that length til the FOY.

I should have said seasoned for the distance rather than seasoned at that distance. Stormello had run 3 straight at a mile and a sixteenth and Scat Daddy had run 3 straight at a mile or more.

putting blinkers on Nobiz MIGHT turn him into a focused monster.

It might and I think he has more potential of winning the Derby than either Scat Daddy or Stormello.

They probably won't make him faster. It will be interesting to see. He's a good horse, but I have a feeling he may not be as good as some of us were hoping. He's pretty much run 95-100 Beyers like clockwork every start without much variation at all regardless of distance or anything. Maybe he will explode his next start. I'm not so sure however.

And blinkers don't help every horse.

Well of course....but when a horse appears to have problems focusing - which Nobiz appears to have - they could be helpful.

i should state, i like Nobiz BUT i think i like Great Hunter and Liquidity better. i'd say Nobiz is my 3rd pick at this point.

Even after Liquidity's nasty performance in the LA Derby?

Liquidity still has time to bounce back.
