The Line: Tampa Bay Derby winner is improving. He closed ground in the stretch to get up for third in the Blue Grass, which is no small feat at speed-favoring Keeneland. He'll need to make a significant move forward to catch some of his faster foes on Saturday, but that wouldn't be entirely out of the question. On the downside, he was unraced as a two-year-old, and no such horse has won the Derby since 1882.
