Smooth Air wins on the off track twice! Sure would be nice to see him get this one ...

I wouldn't overlook Bob Black Jack on off going -- his granddaddy, Bertrando, was a very nice horse on any surface but an absolute monster on a wet track. Slop might help him carry his speed.

I bet Smooth Air in book two and book three of the Derby Future Wager, so here's hoping for RAIN!

I seem to recall Visionaire winning the Gotham on what appeared to be a wet track (well, it was so foggy that you couldn't see the field at all half the time, let alone the condition of the track, so it's anyone's guess). Don't care for his pedigree though...

I agree with Nerd... Visionaire had an excellent race on the soupy track in the Gotham. Pyro's 2nd in the BC Juvie would almost make me like him on a wet track as well. Other than those performances, it would all be a bit up for grabs should it rain.
