After winning the Cal Derby Solis said he is still just a baby,and is gunna get better.The guy is totally misleading people by saying that he isn't a legit derby contender.He has an idiot riding him.So,he probably has a low chance of taking it all,but, if he makes the race,then that horse is going to contend to win that derby.He is a racehorse.

Yankee Bravo has also never run a fast race and he couldn't catch my pal charlie, who broke his maiden in a $50k claiming race. At this point his best chance in the Derby is clunking up to hit the board like Jazil or Steppenwolfer.

I don't see how you can say Crist is misleading people. Its his opinion and if anything you should be happy that he doesn't like YB b/c you should get the juiciest of odds on YB on Derby day.

And I never thought I'd see the day when a son of Yankee Gentleman would be talked about as type of horse capable of grinding from 19th to 3rd in the Derby.

He, like Friends Lake, stands at Airdrie coincidentaly.

scuds i like you thought yankee bravo had a shot in the la derby.he seemed to be climbing a lot early and yes got a bit of a jerky ride late.he will have to show me at least 1 really good race on dirt.. pyro s la derby was not that good..and like drugs think hes not doing enough..downgradeing that race is the right choice....thus makes the fla derby very imprortant this year imo.

I personally dont think he'll hit the board. In a perfect world where the stars lined up for him i think that type of running style gives him his best shot of hitting the board the Derby. Doesn't matter because it's a moot point.
