Analysis: We finally get to see Firing Line again this week in the Sunland Derby, which is a race he should dominate on paper. This horse has ran back to back “too good to lose” type races, so it’s very important to get him a win this time. If he does, he’ll go on to Kentucky where he’ll once again most likely meet up with his old pal Dortmund.
