Joe Riddell usually posts that, but his URL is no longer active and his twitter acct says \"have a great summer\", which to me means he might not be posting Derby analysis this year?

Using foot analysis has been laughed at on this board in the past, but I strongly believe that handling the surface comes before number power, and this is a piece of that puzzle.  Last year might not be a good measuring stick, however, as it would seem the track will be completely soaked, if not sealed, whereas last year it was a drying-out slime, somewhere between sloppy and muddy.

jbrown,

Agree with you (on a wet track).

On a dry track, I don\'t think Noble\'s Prominse will get the 1 1/4.
