Wow it's amazing how many horses I hear about on ATR are well below 20th place. I know it's early to assume all those above will make it or that the ones below won't earn more. I was just surprised. I'm always curious how much it'll take to get above the threshold should oversubscription happen. How likely an entrant is Blind Luck?

Is there anybody not on there that has been tossed around as up and coming? One I thought of was The Program, although I don't know much about him. Steve, were you guys talking about Coyote Legend the other day? I missed the name but after looking up the trainer I guessed you might mean that horse. I just remember him saying the sire was a head case.

Odysseus still has upside ... but to me he looks much more like a suspect than a prospect right now.

In that Tampa race ... he crushed a nothing field .. but he only went 1.80 seconds faster than a really weak N1 in 6 month 5k claiming group at the same distance.

I thought the 91 Beyer he got was a pretty generous number and could have easily been lower.

So, in DrugS speak, you are going to use him in your Derby Dreamer fantasy stable(s).

Surprised that Jackson Bend is 24th.

No chance.

Since I know you anticipate everything I type is now going to be a clever misdirection of the populace designed to fool ... I opted to outsmart you by calling it like I see it.

I wouldn't go quite that far, but you are pretty clever.

I expected Nordic Truce to be nominated for the Triple Crown, but Clement has other ideas. I imagine the G3 Palm Beach next week, Transyvania @ KEE, and Crown Royal American Turf @ CD is the plan? I would like to see him take a shot at dirt / synthetic in the near future.

Doubles Partner should give him a real test next week.
