I try to make my own projections off of my own homemade chart, so I'm just
curious.

Those are my own.

Suprised that only one other poster has given any credit to the SA horse. First off of the boat and beat all but two.From as far off the pace I would think he has the most upside of any of the also rans.

The South American is a crow, someone has to run third.

Credit for what?

He got an excellent pace to close into and was beaten double digits....

He did however manage to outrun similar styled Cool Gator...who could only manage a 5th as the 11th choice in the betting.

Hey, I got beat a similar margin in my ski race today.

I was a proud recipient of an Amstel Light blanket for that.

All the colts had the paceto run at and they melted. Only one horse ran these fractions{BB}.Maybe all the negative posters can get behind the CLASSY GOODLOOKING horse again and bet him down to 5/2.

Who are you talking about?

Who's the classy good looking horse?

Fast paces best setup deep closers...not stalkers, pressers, or mid-pack types

He's a very akward looking mover (don't really care for that style)... the Derby distance wouldn't be an issue for him though, that's for sure.

to me it wasn't all that impressive, 3rd, 12.5 lengths back. the comment says "outrun early, passed tired rivals". everyone chasing Big Brown ended up retreating, allowing those from the back half of the field to advance late.
