premier pegasus would for sure have won the SA derby and KY derby last year had he not gotten hurt
premier pegasus was so much better than uncle mo
RS is my Derby pick, the Cashcall performance was awesome despite the place finish. Assuming there are no setbacks and he makes it to Churchill, I expect great value. He has several things working in his favor in order to go off with double digit odds. First, he's a California horse and second, he's not trained by Baffert. So he avoids the East Coast bias and the Baffert bias (though he has JH, a hall of fame trainer). Next, his sire sort of sucks. But skip back one generation and you see how regally bred he is; the A.P. Indy line, Raise A Native/Native Dancer on both sire and dam sides. He has pretty much the exact same sire side pedigree as current flavor of the week- El Padrino. One potential threat to his odds could be a romp in the SA Derby, as that race is shaping up to be stacked with talent. Hope he makes it, $100 to win on 5/5.
