Winter Derby day today. With the 120 rated 5/4 fav Mutakayyef out due to an injury, the race is wide open. Of course reigning champ Grendisar is dangerous, but is not in great form, it seems, compared to last year. I'll take a chance on the unraced over the mile 2 distance You're Fired(25/1) surprising them all.
You're Fired runs on over a mile, rated 107 against Grendisar(11/4) at 108 and Convey(5/1) at 111 who hasn't run for 4 months, so I will go for the outsider to maybe unexpectedly run on well over the mile and 2 furlongs. A big outsider hasn't won the Winter Derby for ages. For me, hopefully today's the day.
