Visionaire in the 8-hole, as expected.

I'm not sure how excellent that is with the three speed horses to his outside.

This draw couldn't have really worked out much better for Cool Coal Man and Tale of Slowkati to suck up for third. Total lack of speed outside should assure them of getting great trips on the inside behind the frontrunners who are going to have to clear them and crash down from outside.

I've been leaning towards Denis, and now he gets the strangely successful Kentucky Derby post of either 15 or 16
Just having some fun with it, but Big Brown in the 20 spot? That's no fun for his backers, regardless of what Dutrow says

In Big Brown's grand total of 2 dirt races,
he did not take a smidgen of dirt.
They just might stay wide not worrying
about ground maybe (until the turn home).

Dutrow may think he can beat the others
going 1 and 3/4.

BB doesn't want any of the speed. Now we know BB is vulnerable.
