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 Last edited by miraja2 : 03-17-2007 at 10:44 PM.

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?!

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.

Oh, I love Belgravia! But, I don't think he will have a shot in the Derby at this point if he even gets there, which I highly doubt that he will. He was sick in his last start which explained why he ran fourth that day...
I wonder what happened to Dilemma as well...
