Trip capping the favorite for the derby

Trip capping the favorite for the derby
if kent doesnt send Big Brown early the horse will either turn wide or get stuck behind other horses and possibly get blocked and might get forced to make too late of a move. im gonna assume the send factor is in order due to the outside post. if he sends i think the horse is good enough as long as the trouble is to a minimum.
the post is making me a little worried, but then again his odds might be higher because of the outside post. im calling for 9/2 closing odds.

The kentucky Derby was a great show of classic race horse talent . Big Brown went a extra 30 feet or so and still beat up on the rest of the race horses. I think he will be tough in the Preakness if he does not bounce. This race took something out of him for sure and at some point this race horse will have to take atleast 1 step back to re-group. It will be intresting to see how he trains up to the next 2 triple crown races . I love horse racing for this reason ..you just never know .
i simulated the races a few times putting Having Fun in the 20 hole to see what kind of trip Big Brown might have. pretty similar as for turning wide the first turn sometimes. he lost most the races where he would go wide both turns. but BB is really a beast!
