Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here, and this colt isn't much, but I'd love to see what he can do against Stakes runners if given the ride i think he needs.
Sadly though, i think his Derby trail ended over the weekend, and his connections may seek easier competition.

I agree.
It looks like those top few moved forward a bit anyway and it would have been tough for him even if he did get better position and save some ground. He was over 20-1. I can live with that bet.
I feel better about that one than the one I made in the Rachel Alexandra. I played Moon Swag to win and in exotics but not under the top 2 finishers.
