He was one of the first horses I threw out...you never know. :-)
I tossed him too, but not before much discussion of him with my buddy who is tight with the WinStar bunch. She thought I was nuts to even consider him, but I tossed everyone of the favorites because all had something really wrong IMO that wouldn't allow me to even waste $ 2 on them. I was convinced it would be a horse that paid BIG. I couldn't figure out which one of the really longshots to play and ended up playing Musket Man across the board so I didn't lose anything.
I've never seen a Derby like this before. Usually, I end up picking some horse that isn't worth playing because the odds are too short. This year, there wasn't even one of those with all the defections.
