Old Fashion or Friesan Fire, who's the player

I hear ya, but Eight Belles didn't have a prior 9f race either, and I think FF is better than she was at the same time and is bred to go longer.

A little tangent on Square Eddie...would it be so wrong to sneak an allowance into this horse before the Derby or something? Honestly, what are those people thinking?

if he's not in good enough shape to run once preceding the derby, how can they expect he can handle the derby itself?
i'm thinking he doesn't run.

Friesan Fire - wish he would have had a prep. Don't understand the thinking. I guess it is vogue to run fresh. Eight Belles 8.5f prep. - should have told them a couple things. Apparently it only told them that if it weren't for Big Brown they had a winner.

Old Fashion - only if the Derby is completely void of all other speed and then it is still a question mark.

Square Eddie is nominated for the Queen's Plate
maybe he should pass on the Ky Derby and try the Canadian Derby
