IMO, Hoppy, Cairo & Honor Code wouldn't have made any difference in the derby.

he has run 3 times thus far each race he gets better. The connections sought to enter him in the Sir Bear on Saturday at GP a 1 mile race that will get him fit for the Preakness in 2 weeks, if he was my horse I would have worked him a mile and change and then gone directly to Pimlico!

He hasn't won a stakes race though, sorry I'm not buying the hype here, comparing to a horse like shared belief or constitution which are known stakes champions is crazy

Not sure what the point here is. The history of the Derby Trail is full of could-have-beens like these, many with more upside and more accomplishments than this year's collection. One can't say it would have been a better race if only before it's even been run yet.

LOL, I get the feeling Seattle Slew, Street Sense, and Big Brown could be in this race and you would feel it wouldn't make a difference, because there is no way Chrome can lose.

Don't get me wrong...I'm playing him up top of a couple exotics, but I'm nervous as shit doing it. He looks the best but the CD surface is so much different than SA. I'm really concerned he's not going to have the same kick we've seen from him out west.
