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.

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.

Top 10 prospects remains the same with 50 pts (winner) races starting with the Fountain of Youth this weekend. Reride (Candy Ride) for Asmussen impressed with a 91 BSF in Mine That Bird Derby on Sunday at Sunland Parks. There will definitely be a shake up next week as 4 on my top 10 are scheduled to battle in the Fountain of Youth.

Default Bolt @ 8-1

Easy money after that work, San Felipe, Santa Anita Derby, Kentucky Derby.
Can it be this good?

You’re willing to take 8-1 right now on a horse that had missed enough time to alter the original plan? And you’re basing it off a gate work in which he essentially blew the break?

If 20 loaded in the gate tomorrow and Bolt was among them he would be close to 8/1 maybe more. Now you have to wait ten weeks, hope that the trainer that has not been on the Trail gets him conditioned for 10f's and 20 horses. Not for me.

Love the horse he is obviously VERY talented, but a lot of them are at this point

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

Love the horse he is obviously VERY talented, but a lot of them are at this point
This colt improves going 9 to 10 furlongs, Derby(Santa Anita Derby) 2nd off the layoff and then 3rd off in Kentucky
I say this colt is being handled or managed just perfect.
I don't think Mick Ruis is getting the credit he deserves!
He his wife Wendy his daughter Shelby and their whole stable is what American thourobred racing is supposed to be about.
Taking care of the horse's ist then keep him active and training to a triple crown run
