Coming from a guy with a blog on Kentuckyderby.com I would expect more.

How can you bash a guy for projecting a horse as a contender in January that hasn't progressed? I guess you have a futures ticket that you bought in December on the winner.

Dude....the same guy had Brother Keith at # 5. At least Bittle Road won races on grass, although last time I checked the Kentucky Derby was run on dirt.

I don't play the Derby futures, I think they are a horrendous bet when you take into consideration risk vs reward. Unless you are getting huge odds (25-1 or more) imho, they are a sucker bet.
