Steve Haskin's Derby Dozen: Feb. 22, 2010
1 Eskendereya Todd Pletcher

Giant's Causeway—Aldebaran Light, by Seattle Slew
Been waiting since the Pilgrim for a breakout performance from him and he delivered big-time. With his action, cruising speed, pedigree, and ability to run horses into the ground, he can do it all. Final 3 furlongs in :36 2/5 was impressive. Just have to be careful he didn’t peak too early.

1. hmph.
A lot of Pletcher horses on there. Considering he's just been suspended that makes me wonder how talented they REALLY are. Or are they getting "help".

I like the name. Sure looked good in that one.

3. Meant to mention
the story I like best so far is Caracortado (Scarface). A gelding, part-owned by trainer (I think bred by him too?), a closer, and first win in a claiming race. What's not to like?
