Re: Derby Woe's

by Afleet Alex

 
My top 12 {in order}

1. Cause to Believe - Good horse, can run anywhere on the track, very consistent, fast times
2. Lawyer Ron - Nice Rebel win, showed he could rate, still like him better when he is in front
3. Brother Derek - Good consitent horse although beats up on and claimers, would like to know if he can rate
4. Point Determined - If he gets the right race he should do well, keeps improving, lots of potenital
5. Bob and John - I've always liked him, he is a good horse, nice effort in wide San Felipe
6. A.P. Warrior - Good in San Felipe but outcome IMO would have been different if picks 4 and 5 would have had the same kind of race
7. First Samurai - Want to see how he does in a fair race which hopefully happens in the Bluegrass
8. Steppenwolfer - Improving, always tries, could be a big threat
9.Bluegrass Cat - I think Bluegrass was a fluke, he lost a shoe, still only got beat by 1 1/4 lengths
10. Keyed Entry - Game second in Gotham, was experimenting, see how he does next time
11. Henny Hughes - Yes awkward choice but he was my fav 2 yr old last year and just can't seem to let him go, hopefully does well Saturday in Florida Derby
12. Discreet Cat - Nice win in UAE Derby but he beat nothing, time was fast due to track bring any good U.S. horse there and he'll do the same, shippers usually don't do well on the First Saturday in May
*Strong Contender has to win next race to get to Derby, his last chance, he is my 13 spot.*
