Thanks for posting your workup on this Derby prep race, Bill V

I don't understand the speed rating assigned to the Sunland Derby, but "it is what it is...."

I got drawn into this race because of the fast pace of the Sunland Derby and Irap came out of that particular race to wire the Blue Grass Stakes last week over the pre-Derby favorite McCraken....Maybe Irap paired up before the Blue Grass; nevertheless Irap got away with a 48.0 first fraction and wired the field at 31 to 1 last week....

Conquest Mo Money came in second in the Sunland Derby but more importantly, Conquest Mo Money was up close to the blistering pace which it will not see in today's match- up even though we have a sprinter stretching out today in the #1 horse trained by O'Neill. Conquest Mo Money can spring a mlld upset in today's Derby prep race in my humble two cents.

Good skills
