You don't think drawing the Southwest winner from Oaklawn and place horses from the Gotham in NY and the Risen Star in Louisiana is a giant step in solidifying this race's place on the Derby trail?

It's sure top heavy. Not a criticism, as you're right, but there is some drop off after those three.

I knew that right after I posted there would be a MTB reference. Sorry, it's a stupendous field. Can't wait for Sunday.

Actually, I was thinking more of Mythical Power. But whatever.

Clearly you're just bitter that Tiz Chrome dropped off the face of the earth and you can't hint at any coy tidbits from the barn anymore.

Yeah, the suffering is overwhelming. I try to get through it with plenty of Chianti and Ambien.

This field is 10 times better than the 2009 field, and that one somehow produced a Derby winner.
