  • 12thCrown · Already changed my long-shot picks after a few more hours of study - I like Cozzetti as the sleeper pick but think Isn't He Clever will be tough with his stalking style. Good luck all! · 431 days ago ·

Well, I took Raconteur in the Derby Pool 1. Let's hope we've seen something others aren't on to yet. LOL
