Good stuff Gus. Looks like San Felipe and Fountain of Youth are going to tell us a lot. Are you going to Fountain of Youth? A few of us will be in Tampa that weekend if your interested.

Being a big HO train enthusiast as a kid, I kinda like NEW YORK CENTRAL along the Derby Trail

Justify is definitely in my top 10, but that may be wishful thinking resulting from a rather large "All Others" bet I made into Pool 2 of the Future Wager.

Marconi had significant trouble in the FoY, that said having him in the top ten is a tremendous vote of confidence.

1.) Solomimi (Curlin) Baffert Rebel Stakes - Flattered by San Felipe result. On the upswing.
2.) Bolt d’Oro (Medaglia d’Oro) Ruis San Santa Anita Derby - Gutsy effort off the bench, should only improve.
3.) Audible (Into Mischief) Pletcher Florida Derby - Impressive Holy Bull winner will have to validate.
4.) McKinzie (Street Sense) Baffert Santa Anita Derby - Seasoned and has the grit to go with it.
5.) Free Drop Billy (Union Rags) Romans Blue Grass Stakes?- Puzzled by Gotham entry, but could wake up going longer.
6.) Combatant (Scat Daddy) Asmussen Rebel Stakes - Model of consistency and will run all day.
7.) Strike Power (Speightstown) Hennig Florida Derby - Strong FOY performance and will need to step it up.
8.) Good Magic (Curlin) Brown Blue Grass Stakes - No shame in FOY defeat, next very important.
9.) Justify (Scat Daddy) Baffert Santa Anita Derby - Tremendous upside, Apollo curse?
10.) Magnum Moon (Malibu Moon) Pletcher Rebel Stakes - Makes stakes debut in loaded Rebel this weekend.

Honorable Mentions: Enticed, Catholic Boy, Sporting Chance, Tiz Mischief, Vino Rosso, Title Ready, Mississippi, Promises Fullfilled, New York Central, Marconi

Good Racing Luck

They definitely look like they stick out at this point. The picture should get clearer with these 9 furlong preps. The Florida Derby could shake things up and 3 of the last 4 winners have gone on the drape the roses.

Agree that Florida Derby is interesting. Want to see if Audible can duplicate the last effort. If so will be a major player but wouldn't be surprised with a dropback. I liked catholic Boy before that last race but after that not sure anymore. Will need to see a much better effort this time. Not a believer in Promises Fulfilled but the FOY wasn't bad. I assume you will be there?

It seems the pace will be contested in the Florida Derby, unlike the FOY. I'm expecting Catholic Boy to take back and make a strong late run. Most of these runners are light on points (Audilble) and will have to fire their best shot to qualify or consider the Lexington two weeks prior to the Derby.

I'm still on the fence about attending with it being on Easter weekend.

I like those 3, but I'd still gladly take the rest of the field in an even money bet.
