Title: Early thoughts ROTW
Post by: Niall on July 16, 2009, 09:10:32 AM
Jerry - too bad you are going to miss the TWS party ... Having taken an early look at the VA Derby perhaps making it the ROTW as Nicanor looks to be a vulnerable favorite ??? Especially given his running style ... Thanks ...

Does anyone else think that Affirmatif has a big shot at overlaid odds?

He should get a nice ground saving trip and gets plenty of rest coming in.  

He hasn\'t gone backwards yet and to my untrained eye, he just looks like he could be any kind.  

Biggest risk is that he turns out to be more effective as a turf miler and doesn\'t get the distance.
