The horses Im throwing out:

Dennis of Cork: Overhyped wiseguy horse. Will be up the track. If you can't hit the board in the Illinois Derby, you shouldn't be allowed in the Kentucky derby.

Anak Nakal: simply too slow. Period. Could clunk up for a share of 11th place.

Monba: Last run on dirt resulted in 39 length loss.

Cowboy Cal: Wouldnt it be something that in this crazy year, Pletcher slips in under the radar and wins with this guy? On a wet track where all the other speed types dont break with the field, this horse might merit a shot. Still throwing out.

Zhumor: Mott second stringer was not finishing in the right direction in his three preps this year. Bounced off previous two 90 plus beyer performances. Last race? 94. Pass.




Now, a couple of horses that arent being hyped that might make it:

Bob Black Jack: Everyone loves Colonel John but this guy is getting no respect. Slugged it out in pace duel in santa anita and lived to only lose to the colonel by a half a length. The colonel will be 5-1 at best while BBJ will be 25-1. Wouldnt be the first Cal bred.

Gayego: Arkansas winner never finished worse than 2nd. Came home decently after tough early fractions. Again, attractive price and he is fast enough to win. Besides, I have much respect for Lobo.



Good luck to all.
