Real Derby Contenders

[Left Bank]

Here is something to chew on.These are the real Derby contenders.
Cowtown cat:Has raced on 5 different tracks,ALL DIRT,won at 5.5f,6.5f,1 1/6,1 1/8.Beyers just keep going up in every race he won.
No Biz: Because PG 1985 likes him.Most likely the pace for the race.
Street Sense:Owns the highest Beyer,And the horse to beat.
And last but not least and you all are gonna crap your pants if you know me...............
Notional:This is the only California horse who has a shot.Ran 105 as a maiden,and ran a great race at GP in his first off the layoff.This is the horse who has the best chance to run them down.
Honorable Mention goes to Hard Spun.
These are MY contenders.

I've always said that there is only 1 handcapper in the world better than Andy Beyer, and that would be everyone who looks at a racing form!!!

i've been pulling for hard spun in all his races. but i've never made him my 'derby horse'. the ones running the show have me concerned.

i think great hunter is the one. but i'd love to see a danzig come in first! (but that should be obvious!!)

I don't think you will see alot from any horse that has raced this winter in California. Baffert's gone quiet and O'neil horses are a cut below. Notional is to slow and Great Hunter won't have a polytrack in Kuntucky. Tioga gets alot of talk after his last race (his final quarter was the best of the 3yo out west) but he lacks real racing experiance.
