His time was also respectable. Whenever we get the derby field and readouts it will be interesting to see how Destin ranks, i feel as though if his numbers rank well he will undoubtedly be a very nice price.

The owner of Destin is also the new owner of The Ragozin Sheets. They provide performance numbers similar to Jerry Brown's Thorograph services. Brown was once a sheet disciple until he ventured on his own.
Destin ran a big number in the Tampa Derby; almost the same number as Exaggerator in the Santa Anita Derby. Since the owner is a sheet believer, they wanted to give Destin time off to recover instead of running in another Derby prep race. Eight weeks off until the Derby??? Barbaro had 5 weeks off which was the longest between races......just saying
Exaggerator and Destin have the top two performance figures in this Derby field according to Thorograph.
