I guess I need to look at it that way, but let's say he runs well in Florida; would you run him in the madhouse that is the Derby?

if he comes out well, everything's going fine, why not? if you have the horse, you go to the race.

The Derby scares me - well, not literally, lol, but it's such a rough and tumble race. However, as others have pointed out, Curlin was lightly raced and so was Congaree - and they ran well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained I suppose.
