I'd probably go with the two Sadler Candy horses myself.

Sidney's Candy has a lot to prove, IMO. His best race is still last year's San Vicente over 7f. His SA Derby was marred by Lookin At Lucky's trouble (though he probably still would have won) and since then he's been very inconsistent. He couldn't capitalize on his flashy wins in low-calibur races, the La Jolla and Sir Beaufort, and now is supposedly dealing with foot issues. He hasn't even started this year.

I realize that Rollo.

However, there is not much to choose from this year.

Gio Ponti, in my opinion. Has there been any word on where he'll go next?

First Dude. I'm certain the GOAT will have him back in ship shape after he wins the Texas Mile.

Probably Tackleberry, although at some point he's going to be tested early and we'll see what he does if that happens. Mission Impazible is okay and I think SS Stone is a great example of a horse that was totally wasted by running on synthetic early in his career. He's not much, but nether is anyone else.

I know BTW was joking, but Inherit the Gold is a pretty good horse (by todays standards) and The Candy horses are pretty nice. Is Successful Dan coming back?
