Why do I like AGS so much?

So what if they didn't take him to Gulfstream? What are you implying? That he isn't as good as Pletcher's other horses, otherwise he would've taken him to GP? Perhaps he didn't want to throw in a three-start horse against his more seasoned charge in Scat Daddy and another superstar in Nobiz..

I wholeheartedly disagree. At first, I was annoyed that Pletcher decided to take him off the pace, but after discussing it with Steve, we agreed that it's probably a better idea than sending him. I think he's got the best shot of the Pletcher quintet to win.

Street Sense pulled ahead of him in the Tampa Derby and he came right back at him. I think he was ahead of after the wire a jump or two. I'd like to see him settle a little and come with his run. He came home in the Wood alittle sideways but he came over come that with good training. I think he and Street Sense are my picks barring a bad Derby Draw.

He's without a doubt my second choice in the race behind Street Sense. I think he's got a great shot in the Derby and the price will be right given the clunker in the Wood.
