Hey Scat Cat, nice pick in the Holy Bull.

Do you think Winslow Homer is going to develop into a top Derby contender?

Didn't look like he was fully cranked headed into this race judging from his works so it appears there is more in the tank.
I thought Aikenite was going to run a better race. He got closer at the top of the stretch then he just flattened out.
Anybody have any other opinions on this race?
