He beat the great Unbridled Vicar at Fair Grounds but he showed heart...BEATING UNBRIDLED VICAR BY A NOSE????!?!?!

Denis of Cork has absolutely no shot in the Derby. I hope he's the the favorite.

The point is if Majestic Warrior had the same setup against the great Unbridled Vicar he wouldn't have beat him and the slow pace would have been the excuse. The fact is, Denis of Cork had excuses to lose and got it done in that race even if the time was slow and the competition soft. I don't think he is as good a Derby contender as War Pass and Pyro at this point. I said a couple weeks back I'd take those two against the field and feel pretty good about it. As a third choice though I think Denis of Cork is as good as any and certainly a better option than Majestic Warrior.

What about the Southwest? How would he have fared in that race?
