Analysis: This impressive winner of the UAE Derby warrants respect, but we all know the history of that race not having success in Kentucky.  This year’s running was fairly strong, so there is hope with Thunder Snow.  He showed determination in the race, but also a little bit of immaturity.  Overall, I’m not taking him too seriously at this point.
