9 of 13 starters in the BC Juvenile are in the Kentucky Derby, including the first 5 and the last 3 finishers. I'm not sure what this means, but it must mean something.

this is usually a good thing. the more horses that progress like that means that 1. there aren't a lot of injuries in the derby trail and 2. that the horses are progressing.

half of the horses at least that were in the juvenile will not only be in the race they will be under 15 to 1.

the last year like this was 07. when street sense, any given saturday, circular Quay all went on and went well. Ironically Union rags to me is a spitting image of circular quay and this is a very strong year like that year was
