Wow, $200,000 is normally the breathe easy point yet we have 10 horses there already and that is not counting any fillies or any horses overseas that could potentially contest. Second place in the Wood won't get it done this year.

You need your money before the big 3 take place this year or you may need to race. However, assuming everyone is healthy I dont see the top 10 changing all the much.

This list is missing a few very interesting horses....hopefully they are entered in some stakes soon, because right now I'm liking Time Squared and a few others moreso than many on this list.

Street Sense is expected to only start in the Bluegrass and one prep for that in Feb early March.

Makes sense to me. The Derby will be 3rd off a layoff and Carl is good with that angle. He doesnt have to worry about money so he can try to get his horse primed for the first Saturday in May. I sort of like the move.

Pletcher is going the FL route with him and using the FL Derby as his last prep for the Derby.
