I'm not sure I'd hold the modest Beyers too much against CJ - it's hard for a 3yo to light it up figure wise in slow paced synthetic track routes.

He will stay 10 furlongs - and while he is unlikely to improve much on dirt - I'm sure he'll probably hold his synthetic form on it.

He's a horse that wouldn't leave me totally shocked if he won - I just think he's going to be overbet and I don't want him.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up my thoughts.

Is there a must play horse in this Derby? If so, I'm seriously missing something.

My bad. After DrugSy's Pyro tout, is there a must play horse in this particular Derby?

Tiznow may look like a Synthetic sire because all of those Cal-breds at Delmar, Hollywood, and Santa Anita. Tiznow himself won the Breeders Cup classic dirt race at Churchill downs covering 10f.
