Valorizzare Derby
Win. Red Admiral (neck)
Place. Dreaming Of Glory
Show. Van Guard

I liked Red Admiral for the upset. Her connections seemed to have higher hopes and she's been extremely consistent this season. Dreaming Of Glory came off as a little bit disappointing to his connections and he strikes me as a horse that likes to hang. Van Guard has been racing in lower level races and should have won except for the lack of workout. This was a HOTY race and he needed a workout since his last was in July. He's nearly grade two and he should have won this but I do not sense the loyalty that Nature Blue had for Red Admiral. Loyalty and toughness won this one for me.
