| 1 |
Dialed In |
Holy Bull form held up again with Gourmet Dinner's second in FOY; Expect next start to be announced soon. |
| 2 |
Uncle Mo  |
Really turning up his training now; Timely Writer looks like a safe comeback spot for the champ. |
| 3 |
Soldat  |
Earned this spot while proving he's much more than a turf horse; Fast, classy and extremely honest. |
| 4 |
Jaycito  |
Schedule leaves him little margin for error, but he couldn't be in better hands for this assignment than Baffert's. |
| 5 |
Brethren |
Would like to see him get a stiff challenge in the Tampa Bay Derby; He needs it. |
| 6 |
Mucho Macho Man |
A big grinder that will stay and continue to develop -- the perfect type to be on the board in the Derby. |
| 7 |
Stay Thirsty  |
Needs to step up in Saturday's Gotham and show he's a legit Derby contender -- not just Uncle Mo's workmate. |
| 8 |
Rogue Romance  |
Liked his comeback in Risen Star; Should be tougher in La. Derby with an honest pace to run at. |
| 9 |
To Honor and Serve  |
This is a Derby list and it's hard to have him high on it after the way he faltered just two races before the big one. |
| 10 |
Santiva |
Already run at several tracks and over several different surfaces, and he's shown up every time; Must get faster. |
| 11 |
Machen |
Expect him to run better in the Louisiana Derby; He must to keep his KY Derby dreams alive. |
| 12 |
The Factor  |
A budding star around one turn, but if we're talking Derby it's hard to see him as much more than the pacesetter. |
| 13 |
Sweet Ducky  |
Training up a storm at PmM; Would like to have seen him run in FOY instead of training up to Fla. Derby. |
| 14 |
Cal Nation |
Might be WinStar's most gifted 3yo, but he'll need perfection to make the Derby; Allowance race soon? |
| 15 |
Toby's Corner |
Can really improve his Derby stock in Saturday's Gotham and looks primed to do just that. |
| 16 |
Gourmet Dinner |
Big try in FOY behind a moderate pace that did him no favors; Shown the class but distance still a question. |
| 17 |
Archarcharch  |
The Arkansas 3yos are falling behind but he does appear to be the best of them; Rebel will tell more. |
| 18 |
Anthony's Cross |
Likely to train up to Santa Anita Derby, which means he's in jeopardy of getting passed here. |
| 19 |
Sway Away  |
Sire and damsire suggest he'll handle two turns fine, but have a feeling he'll find a distance limit. |
| 20 |
Silver Medallion  |
The California 3yos are getting tougher, so he'll need to show he can run with them on dirt to hold this spot. |
| OFF: None |
