This Derby is shaping up to have zero speed.

An amazing difference from last year's race.

$2 short of 19 grand is currently on Arabian Knight in the 5th Derby Future Win pool.

I actually love looking into these pools as they're endless examples (or lessons) of group think and social stupidity. To be fair, my interest in these pools might make me part of that group.

I didn't understand the hype around AK anyway.

I liked AK’s pace figures. He passed the eye test at Oaklawn. As with any horse, it was just a matter of how well he would stretch out. Looking like Forte’s race to lose now.

He is fast and undefeated. Won both his races by 5 or more lengths

Beat Red Route One by daylight, and RRO is a pretty damn good horse.

Forte's odds just lowered again after this statement

I know I'll sound like a smart@ss, but aren't they all fast and undefeated after two races with Baffert?

Occasionally one loses its first start.

Seriously, you are right. It's tricky to try to figure out which ones are going to continue moving forward . There are so many of them.
