    I'll Have Another came from way back. After watching the replay, I was shocked how far back he was at the final turn.

    Did you catch that he was bought for a mere $11K. What a steel!

    I also heard the trainer say they buy a lot of cheap, "overlooked" horses that never amount to anything .......

    the key was his getting out of the 19th spot like a rocket and getting to the rail, or one horse off of it .......

    he settled in there while the front runners ran the 5th fastest times in history through most of the early splits ......

    BodeM came pack to them and it the race was 2 yards longer would have finished out of the money .....

    I'm tempted to go to the Preakness.

    All the video's I saw didn't have him on the rail...although, he was only highlighted coming into the last turn...so where he was before that, I don't know.

    Anyway, exciting run. Despite his Derby win, he won't be thefavorite at Oreakness.
