"Thousand Words" upset Honor A. P. in the Shared Belief Stakes on Saturday at Del Mar and got a Beyer Speed Figure of 104, all of which prompted Marty McGee of Daily Racing Form to cut his odds to 12-1 from last week's 50-1 on his line for the Kentucky Derby on Sept. 5. "Art Collector," scheduled to run Sunday in the Ellis Park Derby, is now the second choice on McGee's line at 5-1, behind the acknowledged favorite, "Tiz the Law," who starts Saturday in the Travers at Saratoga. "Tiz the Law" is currently 2-1 on McGee's Derby line. Two horses who will face him on Saturday -- "Shivaree" and "South Bend" -- are the two newcomers to this week's Derby Watch top 20 list, which has had trouble filling out the bottom slots in recent weeks. McGee has both at 50-1."
