I buy both T-G\'s and Rag\'s (hope that doesn\'t get me in trouble here!) and on Rags he basically just paired up, his last two, which coincidentally have him back at his 2 year old top. I would take that as a very good sign, especially since Nakatani said he didn\'t like the track in the SA Derby. He\'s trained very well since - I\'m still waiting on my clocker\'s report on him, but the works look very good on paper, and Hollywood is a nice deep surface that should have him in fine shape. He should definitely move forward in the Derby, the only question is if that move will be enough? His breeding for the mile and a quarter is tremendous. Perhaps only Point Determined has better stamina influences -- well, Barbaro, too, though I don\'t see him as a contender.
