I could see where you are saying I am contradicting myself and that's a fair point, but I was mainly using it to show how there's not much disparity between the these horses, when many are claiming him to be slow.

As Golfer pointed out his best was a 4 before the Ill Derby, I don't have much confidence in him getting to at least a 1 in the Ill Derby, which is what he'd have to get, before I would consider using him.

TG gave him a 2 for the Illinois derby.

Which puts him on par with High Heels.

Since I'm not a TG/Rags guy, what's the typical par to win the Derby? 0? -1?

I'm pretty new to the TG/rags world myself. I can't provide much in the way of historical context. Scav's, or Randall can chime in if they are around.

my guess is that the winner averages around zero, maybe slightly negative.

For context Street Sense ran the best juvenile ever and got a neg 2.

If you go to the Sheets site, they give you what the past derby winners have run:
