Check out the last ten years...see how many of the Derby winners came in first or second or third in this race.
Starting in 1996: 2nd by a nose, Cavonnier was 3rd in the San Felipe
1997 Free House won (3rd in Derby), Silver Charm 2nd (won Derby)
1998 Real Quiet 2nd (won Derby)
2000 Fusaichi Pegasus 1st (won Derby)
2005 Giacomo 2nd (won Derby)
Kinda cool.

AP Warrior couldnt match strides with Brother Derek and SWB.
My take is these TB that ran in the San Felipe are in the 2nd flight. If BD were to become a scratch in the Derby because of an injury, then these 2nd string TB would move up a notch.
I would have liked to watch AP Warrior cool out after his victory, to see if he was 100 %. We dont need any more 3yr. olds go to the side lines because of injuries.
