2)Circular Quay- beautiful horse bit small and love to watch his races visuallly impressive but running style worries me will need some luck but hey who wont?
3)Nobiz- I know the buzz on this one has cooled off but i trust Tagg and really think he is a good trainer but can he somehow get this one to calm down???? If he could get the horse to take back at all could envisiion a "grinding" type of trip where he just keeps coming keeps coming and the horses in frt of him start to slow down and he stays at same speed.
4)Great Hunter- Another one that has lost a lot of "buzz" after recent race. Does o'niel not do anything outside of Calif??? That has me worried a lot i loved the lewis race horse really seemed to just push the button and was off last race even without the trouble i dont know if he wins. Was really expecting a quick burst but just didnt see it. Am i wrong?? Who knows what is going to happen with this one. If odds get out of control i'll have to at least make a win bet
5)Hard Spun- The Lanes end too me and correct me if im wrong was a visually impressive race in that at no point did i think that hard spun would lose. His jock didn't move a bit and from what i remember they ran a decent pace that day but jock didnt shake him up till last turn. I really walked away from race visually impressed. If im off, please let me know.
6)Zanjero- Seems like a moderatly talkented horse but seems to have problems in his races. Think he ran pretty good in BG and with Curlin may be the forgotten horse ala real quiet?
7)Any Given Sat- This is the horse i have watched since last year. I remember watching his first race this year from Tampa and was really excited about it. Race vs SS was insane and too be honest wasnt totally surprised that he was "off" in Wood. Looks like he missed a week of trainging to run in Wood but is back on schedule. My pick to win if odds aren't awful.

There you have it, my top 7 not in order obviously if you see ANYTHING wrong with my thought process please point it out i wont get mad b/c it may save me money Derby day. thanks.

You left off the winner.

Zanjero
Hard Spun
Nobiz
Cowtown Cat

[Antitrust32]

I was going to put Cowtown in and throw out Curling... but my keyboard wouldnt let me. Right now I am not interested in AGS eventhough the buzz around here makes me think I should be...

[brianwspencer]

I would have to say right now, that I stand like this:

Street Sense
Any Given Saturday
Curlin
Great Hunter
Nobiz Like Shobiz
Cowtown Cat
Scat Daddy

I knew it... you had to put him in the 7th spot, didn't you? LMAO

[Riot]

The three toppers - ready to win:
Scat Daddy
Street Sense
Any Given Saturday

Dominican - gelded, peaking at right time
Curlin - what do we actually have here? Use or not?

The fillers, will choose a couple after watching them closely until Derby:
Cowtown Cat - slower, workmanlike and will run his race
Hard Spun - hope your breeding comes through for you
Circular Quay - big ask for the little guy
NoBiz - has the foundation, but have the feeling there will be no jumpup here
Zanjero
