Maybe a disadvantage to Bellamy Road that the Spanish Chestnut picks after him? If he is truly a rabbit, despite what that sneaky Frenchman claims, would a post chosen outside of Bellamy put that one in a tight spot, no pun intended?

Bellamania could have picked worse of course. However he\'s been in the garden gate spot with advantaged pace scenarios his entire career. Thats changing Derby Day. Hes gonna break from about hole 11 it appears. With his two primary speed threats probably outside of him. But it wouldn\'t be surprising if Spanish or Going select the one hole if its still available. The outside posts for the rabbits would seem to ensure a very quick early pace as they would by all appearances want run quick enough to clear and tuck in. It almost guarantees a hustle to the lead and if Bellamania can\'t rate a very early energy challenge for that one.

If Zito is gonna rate Bellamy, he won\'t take the 11 hole, probably take the 15-16 hole.

I hope Afleet Alex takes the 10 hole.

16 for Bellamay.
12 for AA.
