Cowtown Cat
Sam P.
Deadly Dealer

How many actually make it? I say three, maybe four. Any other TP runners I'm missing who have a chance?

I rank them in this order to make the race...

Circular Quay - regains repect with La Derby win
Any Given Saturday - think Pletcher likes this one the best
Ravel - two preps to Derby

Sam P. - sharp 2nd last week...sleeper of group
Scat Daddy - will become the "best overall" of this group by end of year
Cowtown Cat - his Preakness starter
King of the Roxy - see above horse
Deadly Dealer - monster effort last start, needs to face tougher first

Remember when Zito had 5? None hit the super. Replay pending.

He is going to have FIVE this year....25% of the field will be Pletcher

CQ will probably win a race or two this year and Sam P, Scat, ANy Given and Sam P will earn their fair share of money. Again, Todds world we all just play in it.

Where is Grapelli???

I asked this on another thread and just know he's in Cali.
On my DRF watch but nothing going, I thought after his nice close inthe San Rafael he be a top one for Pletcher now.
He is also out of one of my favorite mares, BELLA BELLUCCI!!

Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it!!

Really like Ravel off that Sham victory...don't like just the two preps into the Derby though!
