He's WAY out of his league.

To his credit he did handle Reporting For Duty without too much effort at the Thorne.

He did it while overcoming the perfect trip of the century.

I'm so impressed that I'm overwhelmed. Cowtown Cat is the kind of horse you ask someone about an hour after the Derby and they say " I think he was 16th but those might have been his colors passing the wire 30 seconds after the 19th horse ( who will undoubtably be Storm in May ).

YES!!! As Cajun and others can attest, I have been boldly proclaiming for over a month now that Cowtown Cat would finish exactly 16th in the Derby. Now the pros are starting to agree with me!
I don't know if you were intentionally agreeing with me BTW, or if this is just another case of great minds thinking alike.
Who will be in the trifecta next Saturday? No clue.
Who will finish 16th? Cowtown Cat.

I am far from having that kind of opinion. Right now I am more amused by some of the ridiculous entrants in this year's Derby. Storm in May absolutely stands out as one of the most idiotic entries I have ever seen in the Derby.

I have the number at 5-6 entrants who have no place in the starting gate..The number of tosses will increase slightly with the post positions..Will Storm in May have any money thrown his way, other than his connections??

I won't be putting the following on any exacta tickets on Saturday:

Storm In May
Slews Tizzy On Edit Teuflesberg gets added to the tossed list
Xchanger
Cobalt Blue
Sedgefield

doubtfull that I'll be using Zanjero or Tiago either

I believe they are opting for the Preakness instead..Cobalt Blue is my pick to finish furthest up the track..

I can see you are in rare form today, you need to keep your form until Saturday.

Thoro-graph doesn't know who to pick; they're all carrying equal weight.

Its about how you read the sheets. There is no consensus all the time on picking horses with them. Sheet players aren't homogenous and pick the same horses.
