I absolutely love the way he's ridden the Derby the last two years - going straight to the rail and picking his way through the inside of a 20 horse pack without ever losing momentum.

The problem is that the expected fast pace this year never developed - if it had - he might own the two single best rides in Derby history.

The ride is fine......but I loath this horse in the Belmont, it would be nice if BB lost new week and we can get a full field in the belmont as I want to bet against DoC.

If the plan was to ride the rail, why did the trainer and connections park his ass outside, when they could have chosen inside.

horse finished third, beating 17 in the process, and it's not good enough? their plan worked, his resume will show 'hit the board in the gr 1 ky derby'. i don't know that calvin could have done ANYTHING to improve his finish position.
