Steve Haskin;s Top Derby Contendars

In my opinion, you have six viable contenders as of right now. The top four of which are real elite contenders---you have a decent gap back to the 5th and 6th ranked contenders....and I believe you take a big step back after those two horses. You also have two sensationally talented horses, who are not viable contenders because they are lightly raced and wintering in Dubai. One of which (Day Pass) would also be quite doubtful to see out 10 furlongs against top company.

* My Elite 4 include:

Any Given Saturday, Nobiz Like Shobiz, Street Sense, and Tiz Wonderful.

* My two viable contenders who must further develop:

Great Hunter and Hard Spun.

* The two potential stars who I don't view as viable Derby candidates right now:

Day Pass and Minefield.

No Circular Quay?

Quay is better at sprinting. That is just my opinion.

No---I see him as a late running sprinter/miler type....and I don't believe he's quite as good as people think.

Been reading meras stuff for just about 3 years now, and I still have a tough time occasionally. LOL
