@GreenDayCusack 1) Shackleford likes to run up front & few horses have the stamina to win wire-to-wire at 1-1/8 mile; 2) Dale Romans doesn't bet his horses.
Both Shackleford and Dialed In ran a great race. I gotta say, I have a soft spot for Shackleford. He just seems to give it his all. I was rooting for him in the Kentucky Derby...little underdog has a lot of heart!
Dialed In does look the obvious choice, which makes me suspicious all of a sudden. Seems like we just might have less pace than anticipated which only makes the Derby that much more to handicap. We seem to have a crop of late bloomers poised to pounce down the lane and Dialed In just might not get the best of it. I've always liked Sway Away and think he's yet to explode.
@DartsRme312 He needs a sloppy track. If he has Calvin Borel on him you should watch out. He needs a ride down the rail and Calvin can very well do that.
@MichaelDominici yes...many people say with a tad more luck ice box wins that race...it was an incredible run...remember monarchos in 2001 with that amazing pace up top and in 2005 with giacomo...another amazing pace...i'm saying this...110-111 pace a closer has a great chance to win this race....dialed in...arch arch arch...and look out for anthony's cross (california)

The real question is how did Shackleford get second by a nose if he is 60-1??
