Top 5 Derby horses at this point
Just want everyones opinion on their personal top 5 as of now for the derby, along with 5 sleepers each, i know its early i just want to get a look at what everyone is thinking, you dont have to put them in order just throw out names....
top 5.... nobizlikeshowbiz, street sense, ravel, great hunter, hard spun sleepers.....air commander, law breaker, rags to riches, liquidity, summer doldrums |
How come Notional barely ever seems to get mentioned in any of these top 5 lists? He has looked solid in his last two stakes races, and people seem to forget that it did not look like CQ was going to get to him in the Risen Star even without the trouble. His sire was a G1 winner going 10f, so I wouldn't think pedigree would be the big knock on him.
Anyway, here is my Top 5 right now....in order. 1) Great Hunter 2) Street Sense 3) Ravel 4) Notional 5) Circular Quay |

1. Street Sense
2. Notional 3. Great Hunter 4. Circular Quay 5. Sam P./Curlin oops that was six |
No need to name 5
Cobalt Blue...who cares about the rest... huge futures at huge odds...
Java Gold |
1) Street Sense
2) Scat Daddy 3) Great Hunter 4) Curlin 5) Any Given Saturday Super sleeper- Grapelli... With a full field and a hot pace, this guy could make a run for it..Although his entrance into the derby seems unlikely due to graded earnings, I really believe this horse has a big upside. |
By tomorrow at 6pm. ArlJim will have 42 combinations worked out with his top five.
I should be so wise to start early. |

Sam!! I like this horse as well... I saw him win on closing day at CD this past November. He just seems like a scrappy, versatile horse. One of those types that if he can't win it you can at least put him underneath. But, I do think the way he is progressing he might peak in a little over a month, get a good trip and be a derby winner. |

He seems to be one of those horse who just can't quite seem to get the job done, but grinds and grinds, a style that can be effective in the Derby. Hmmmm, grinds. Can't get the job done in preps. Still will get enough earnings to get in. Giacomo Redux?! :D |
I still find it hard to narrow, but......
1. Street Sense
2. Circular Quay 3. Great Hunter 4. Nobiz Like Shobiz 5. Notional Sleepers in no particular order Zanjero, Hard Spun, Adore The Gold, Any Given Saturday, Rags to Riches Extremely hard to narrow down, i could throw 10 more in there easy! More preps to come, jockey decisions, of course the possibility of injuries (hope not), lots of intrigue still to play itself out in the next 6 weeks! Love this time of year!:) |
