I know Anak's races have been pretty questionable this year, but if this has been the main goal, he wouldn't have had to get any earnings to get here. I really think you might see a different horse on Derby Day with him, plus he will get the pace he needs, and there aren't many that are bred like he is to go this distance.

I know, I know, he hasn't done anything, but Zito would not be going if he didn't have confidence, and I just think he has a opportunity to hit the top 4

Well, I'm never one to run someone out of town when they're backing a longshot. Your reasoning is alright. And I've said it a hundred times... I suppose this year's Derby is so crazy it's really "anything goes."

I'm kind of in the same boat here. I'm no fan of Anak Nakal, but I can't say without question that I might not use him on a couple of tickets at the very bottom of a tri or super.
