Don't see the pedigree in Buddy Gil to go the distance, especially on the notoriously deep track at CD. Again, I like Ats, and have liked him since before the San Felipe. Big, long-strided closer who is being trashed by almost all the gurus covering him. I like that. ;)

Old Colonel E. R. Bradley, who bred and owned four Derby winners, was a great horseman and a big gambler. He had a saying that has stayed with me for many years in handicapping distance races. "Give me a horse who can do the last two furlongs in .24." It's not a bad guide. I'll be working over the PP's today with that in mind and give my fearless--or foolish--selections for later ridicule before post time. Of course, Derby Day happens to be my wife's birthday so there'll be a throwaway exacta and super contribution.
