I'll take Brother Derek

[bellsbendboy]

While Barbaro was impressive in Louisville, and earlier here tonite following Mc\'s posts, once again he got a great trip which he does not figure tommorrow.  No question Like Now sets an honest, if not quick pace and the picture somewhat muddles thereafter.  The bookends on either side (Solis in, Kent D. out) will certainly create circumstances that Prado should find difficult, if not only because all three will compete in NY for the next few months.  As JB posted this is the wildcard scenario.

In the derby,\'Derek was similar odds with Barbaro yet ten horses wider when the gates opened. In his eight races he had outfinished a bunch of quality stakeswinners. Before the race, Hendricks was a wreck, Matz was confident and now the reverse. Rumors of a splint, lost weight and the dreaded bounce abound, all with a $3 horse.

I\'ll single Derek in the pick 4 and take a chance that Sweetnorthernsaint does not beat me.  If Barbaro does, so be it, collectively the others have about a two percent chance. BBB
