re: Kentucy Derby winner have the goods to make a run at Triple Crown?

AP is actually not run as much for a horse his age because of an earlier injury. That could help his stamina for the next races. I think he wins the Preakness and has a decent chance to win Belmont.

That might work to his favor if it wasn't a hard fought race. But a horse with a short foundation usually takes a little while to get over a really tough race, and make no mistake, that was a tough race on both Firing Line and AP. Dortmund ran his race, but he really doesn't have the distance pedigree. EPO doesn't change Big Brown's genes.

By the way, Vengeance, where are you getting the Trakus data for Derby? I was looking for it. I wanted to see Frosted's final quarter time because as much as people are rightfully praising the run, the leaders were walking home. He should have blown by at least Dortmund if he was running a legit final quarter.
