Could be a couple of explanations for this. <BR/><BR/>a) This crop just isn't that good.<BR/>b) A couple of top horses are running fewer preps - so not a great sample.<BR/>c) The track surfaces are different than in year's past. <BR/>d) This year's crop is bred with distance more in mind than speed.

Luckily, the value was not there for me to make any strong bets in the Derby preps.<BR/><BR/>I kind of liked TIAGO in the SA Derby, but couldn't find a way to make a winning ticket (I had him on top in a tri, but never thought KotR would hang second).Harlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515575955224982258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-68088220860814580012007-04-09T09:33:00.000-04:002007-04-09T09:33:00.000-04:00>>I came across something on one of the OTB feeds ...>>I came across something on one of the OTB feeds yesterday that mentioned that Scat Daddy had never run a triple-digit Beyer and he was something like the first potential Derby favorite in x number of years in that position.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I think that most definitely sounds right! I don't think Scat Daddy will be the favorite, but he'll likely be in the top three I imagine. He may be bet lower than Any Given Saturday, y'think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-6659031329023054002007-04-09T09:17:00.000-04:002007-04-09T09:17:00.000-04:00Speaking of Beyers, I came across something on one...Speaking of Beyers, I came across something on one of the OTB feeds yesterday that mentioned that Scat Daddy had never run a triple-digit Beyer and he was something like the first potential Derby favorite in x number of years in that position. Does that sound right?
