Top 10 Derby Prospects

The B.C. Juvenile Turf winner. I don't know who he beat in the UAE but Holy Shlt! What a performance. He doesn't have those long legs that you see on a turf horse. He is built low to the ground.

If he is the real deal this horse might come close to or beat the track derby record.

Mendelssohn

Looks just like Scat Daddy...

Because its a picture of Scat Daddy, not Mendelssohn



Scat Daddy did stamp them with short legs though. And despite that, they have performed best on turf. I believe Justify is his first Grade 1 winner on dirt in the US (Daddys Lil Darling came close a couple of times).

....and you are right, uncanny stature and color similarities.

1. Justify : Trust the Beyer boys. They often get it right.
2. Mendelssohn: Same thing. Just a bit harder used than necessary in his last race and who did he beat?
3. Bolt D’Oro: The only one, I think, with 3 100+ Beyers in routes (because Justify has yet to run 3 routes).
4. Audible: Todd likely praying for a pace melt down and may get it with the two faves having the same running style as well as 5 others by my count.
5. Good Magic: Will need to equal his Juvy win and even then might not win.
6. Vino Rosso: His lights just came on.
7. Magnum Moon: Oaklawn my home track so I have to like him and hope he does well.
8. Solomini: Hard trier and did not get the best of trips in the Rebel.
9. Lone Sailor: Probably on no else’s list, but you just know somebody is going to try for the rail trip.
10. My Boy Jack: Another candidate for the rail trip. Couldn’t beat Lone Sailor to the rail last race, but might get a better draw, if he can prevail at Keeneland.

He is harder used flying all over the world. Jock worked him but pulled up late and He still broke the track record winning by 17 lengths at 1-3/16 . I can't fault that performance. Only worried about a bounce factor or else he is going to win.
