Pros
- Brisnet speed figures were greater than 100 in each of his last three races
- Chance of rain on Derby day and El Padrino has won on both good and sloppy surfaces
- With A.P. Indy. Seattle Slew, Mr. Prospector and Giant's Causeway has a good pedigree
Cons
- Brisnet speed figures have decreased in each of his last three races
- El Padrino's success on good and sloppy tracks is well known, so don't expect much value if the conditions are poor
- Finished a disappointing fourth in his last race, the Florida Derby, behind Derby competitors Take Charge Indy and Union Rags
Fun fact
On a Google search for "El Padrino," [4] the Wikipedia entry for dead drug kingpin Pablo Escobar [5] is the fifth result.
Final analysis
Stay away, unless the track is sloppy, in which case play him in exotics
