Your current Derby top 5
 

Three and a half weeks out so am wondering if anyone wants to throw their current five out there just for fun.

I have, mercifully, restrained myself from having a Derby horse so far. Figured why should I jinx anyone.

Yet.

Tapiture
Wicked Strong
Hoppertunity
Strong Mandate
Vicar's in Trouble

Wicked Strong

In no particular order:

Candy Ride

I'll book your bet on Candy Ride to even make it to the race. Name your price..:)

I'll book his Cairo Prince bet - same terms - Name your price

I'll bet anything he wants against Candy Ride making the gate. Last time I saw him he wasn't anywhere near racing fit.

He's still trying to recoup the losses from his Gemologist winning the Triple Crown undefeated future wager.

Tapiture
Cali Chrome

Hey I know... what if people could post their five horses without being made to feel like they were wrong somehow?

Seriously? This is a Strong group of 3yr olds who are running big numbers. Two triple digit beyers last Saturday in Derby preps.

i could come up with a top 5 but Tapiture and Cali Chrome are the only ones i really like. i wanted it to be Tapiture only but after seeing Cali Chrome's last couple races, how can someone not include him?

I feel like the Pope has blessed my thread!

Cali Chrome
Wicked Strong

I actually agree here...These horses appear better than average as a group.

Amen.

yeah...i guess you missed the news on your first pick.

Curious as to what your thoughts were about the crop from last year. There were three horses in the field that had ran 100 BSF or higher entering the derby (Verrazano, Itsmyluckyday-2, Goldencents). We have more than that this year...You may disagree with that as the barometer but I think the evidence says this might be a pretty good crop.
