thats my opinion i wont bother ranking them because i feel they will all be overbet, none of them will offer value and i dont think any of them have a shot to win, i'd be shocked if a pletcher horses makes the superfecta.

A typically strong response from you.
To answer the question posed, I will rank them because I do think more than one have a legitimate shot to win the Derby.
1.) Any Given Saturday- Ran the worst race of his life while wide in a race that he was originally not even supposed to be running in. He will improve off it and show that he is absolutely not 5 lengths worse than 'Nobiz.
2.) Scat Daddy- He's done the most on the track of any of Pletcher's bunch and as the preps keep coming in with ho-hum results his stock skyrockets.
3.) Circular Quay- Tons of raw talent, but the 8 week layoff has to make even the sternest of folks uneasy.
4.) Cowtown Cat- He definitely was the beneficiary of a free and clear trip in Illinois, but he validated what I considered to be a questionable win in the Gotham.
5-8.) Deadly Dealer, Sam P., King of the Roxy, Soaring By, etc.- I don't think any of these have a great shot, but we'll learn more about DD and Soaring By this week and next week.
I think it's a little premature to say that Todd P won't even get in the superfecta.
