I'm actually happy to hear of a few Derby horses not doing that well, particularly a few intriguing longshots like Musket Man, Papa Clem, and General Quarters. It seems like the last few years have produced little valuable information on who may not be doing well. Almost as if they were scared to say anything negative.

That is very unusual to see a horse working out in those bell boots .
