WHen Pt. Given made that comment about AGS skipping the derby, at first I thought "No, no." But after thinking about it (a whole 5 minutes) it isnt the craziest idea by any stretch. Much as I like AGS he just seems destined come up short. He'd be a great bet to hit the board in the derby, but I dont see him winning it. Sure he's better than probably 12 or 13 other horses in the derby, but would he be able to beat whoever is left running in the stretch on derby day?


Think back to his stretch battles vs. Tiz Wonderful and SS were great but isnt he, just the tinsiest bit hesistant when he eyeballs the other horse...?

I'll leave it at that. YOu guys have far more experience than, me in this.

Yes, but the point is... he was involved in those stretch battles. He's THERE. A horse like Tiago will typically be there to run past the tiring horses (like Giacomo.) Just my take on it.

Yeah I know. He's (AGS) game for sure, and yesterday doesnt really change that. But it's not insane to say that he might be better by skipping.

As for Tiago yeah, AGS far more likelier to hit the board. Just because AGS gets a better result doesnt mean passing the race is a bad idea.
