			 I've scanned the PP's of all 398 horses who have just recently been nominated to the Derby and Triple Crown series for a $600 sum by their owners.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	I am now ready to release my Derby Dozen. #12. ![]() This horse is seriously way too talented -- but I just like that D. Wayne Lukas/English Channel combo. Note how the trainers ROI is in the toilet with every category except routers. #11 ![]() Again -- another horse way too talented -- but it's that D. Wayne/English Channel combo...and you have to love that its never run beyond 5.5 furlongs. #10 ![]() Now this is a D. Wayne/English Channel combo I can go for!! Nothing says serious triple crown threat quite like a double digit length drubbing in a 40K maiden claiming race! #9 ![]() Again -- I should probably be trashed for including a horse with so much proven talent on this list...but note how this guy has never run beyond 7 furlongs and has given ground away late in the stretch every single time.  |

	![]() Now, this looks like D. Wayne's star! Never has this one Beyer'd better than a 50...and he's only beaten a combined total of 6 horses in five career races. #7 ![]() Throw out the wet track race at Sam Houston and this Craig Upham trained runner looks promising. #6 ![]() Hopefully he isn't named after the place where they plan to serve him on a plate. #5 ![]() Trainer Martha Knox is very live with this son of Orientate who won a Retama Park MSW mile in a supersonic 1:44 flat.  |

	![]() Nice to see Dale Romans getting involved. He has a big look with this Indiana Bred who was beaten a combined 50 lengths in two starts against Indiana breds at Hoosier. #3 ![]() Nothing says $600 well spent like nominating this unraced Michigan Bred son of Syncline who has no published workouts. #2 ![]() I watched this New York Bred "run" in the OBS June 2yo sale. The horse that played Secretariat in the Disney movie would toy with him. Nice worktab so far. #1 ![]() This is bold!! They paid $600 to nominate this filly? Shouldn't they just aim her to the Kentucky Oaks instead?  |

			 Tenpins, of recent horses.  Graded stakes winner at Kee and AP.  There may be some older ones with better race records, but I can't recall any.

			 for notable MI breds its slim pickings, going way back there was one called Thumbsucker who had a decent record, and may have raced in the derby as I recall.

			 Big Dougie... I know the falling out has been rough on both of us, but how about a real Derby Dozen. Curious of your thoughts at this point.
