Atkinsrr I have in all my years boasted about 4 horses for the Derby. Northern Dancer in 64, Secretariat in 73, Charismatic in 99 and Big Brown a few years back and the common denominator was they all win. Union Rags after viewing replays from various angles besides what most have seen does impress me. His stride was reserved or in my words restrained which makes me think that when released we just might see something very special and only the weeks leading up to the Derby will tell. I was in the early days of the Dancer his exercise rider so I can connect the video to what Union Rags did. At this point in time he is the one to beat but it still is early and lets hope he stays healthy.
