Remember there are less than eleven months remaining to get it right! LOL.
I agree with you ArlJim. Out of all the Thoroughbreds born every year, only about 20 of them even make it to the Derby. Just 20.

That is why, for me, it is not just the two year olds that go on to win the Derby that I am looking. It is also those that make impacts in big stakes races later on as well.
