= Keeneland Graduate

1	Dialed In	Always felt he had the best overall profile for the KY Derby, and his Fla. Derby win earns him this spot back.
2	Uncle Mo	Regardless of the grabbed quarter, his Wood finish was disappointing considering the leisurely pace; Distance question looms large.
3	Mucho Macho Man	Loses Louisiana Derby and now in Top 3 – a sign that these Derby contenders have softened in recent weeks.
4	Jaycito	Terrible time to pop an abscess; Winning the KY Derby two weeks after the 1 1/16-mile Lexington S. will be asking a lot.
5	Soldat	Still a fan of his and expect a rebound; If you can forgive his Fla. Derby try, he belongs in the Derby discussion.
6	Santiva	Blue Grass hopeful looks better and better as others fall by the wayside; Does like Churchill Downs.
7	Brethren	We all know he's bred for the Derby and has great potential, but Saturday's Ark. Derby will show if he really belongs or not.
8	The Factor	Can see him proving tough to catch in Saturday's Ark. Derby, but still have a hard time seeing him wire the KY Derby.
9	Toby's Corner	Took that needed step forward with blinkers to win the Wood, and looks to have further improvement in the tank.
10	Midnight Interlude	Improving colts are dangerous this time of year, and this SA Derby winner boasts tactical speed, distance capability & a masterful trainer.
11	Shackleford	Fla. Derby runner-up is also vastly improved, and his $212,000 in graded earnings doesn't look so bad after this past weekend's events.
12	Stay Thirsty	Flattered by Toby's Corner to some degree, but he still needs a big turnaround; Already at Churchill preparing.
13	Pants On Fire	La. Derby victor quickly went from third string to first; A developing colt with plenty of stamina influences in pedigree.
14	Nehro	Quick turnaround in Saturday's Ark. Derby is asking a lot of such a lightly-raced colt, but he could be any kind after his La. Derby showing.
15	Archarcharch	Reportedly training well for his rebound try in Saturday's Ark. Derby; One of several in that race with something to prove.
16	Sway Away	Believe he has the quality, just needs to prove he can be effective going long this Saturday in the Ark. Derby.
17	Willcox Inn	Classy colt is the most interesting outsider in Blue Grass S., and he's probably in the Derby if he hits the board Saturday.
18	Master of Hounds	KY Derby has to be looking more attractive by the day for Team Coolmore, as top contenders continue to fall.
19	Alternation	Good-looking & well-bred colt needs to rebound from meltdown prior to Rebel; Must run huge in Ark. Derby to head to Louisville.
20	Elite Alex	Blinkers make sense for a colt that has been devoid speed and a little green; Needs the pace to come back to him in Ark. Derby.
