A Look at the Derby Lineup
By Gary Young, Xpressbet Clocker
18) American Pharoah There were many bad posts still available, while his name had not yet come out at the draw. When they named him #18, some of his rivals connections looked as if they needed air sickness bags. Anything can happen in a horse race, but this horse is sitting on tilt.
10) Firing Line Continuing to thrive here, draws a good post. We all live for live long shots and I believe he is one.
8) Dortmund Went terrific again Wednesday morning. His coat is glowing. He will make noise Saturday, but has the misfortune of having a neighbor in his barn that may be better.
15) Frosted Was a late arrival, but has made a favorable impression. Watch his last race, note wide on both turns and not full throttle late!
5) Danzig Moon Has caught the eye galloping all week and looked good Wednesday. He could be an okay underneath horse for exotics. Maybe..

Terrific work by Gary Young as usual. Boiled down the top players brilliantly and virtually guaranteed an American Pharoah win.
