Empire Maker - trouble trip, finishes 4th
War Emblem - gets caught up in speed duel with Congaree, 19th
Funny Cide - makes middle move, finishes 5th
Bernardini - Intriguing play, lack of experience is a negative, finishes 9th

Monarchos - Trouble trip from the 17 hole, finishes 10th
Perfect Drift - others pass him, 14th
Ten Most Wanted - yeah right, 18th

I chose to ignore it mira...

Besides Perfect Drift was MUCH better than 10 was at age three (at the time of the derby). Not that I didn't love 10 then, but I think he needed time to mature into his huge self.

PD would be in my tri box with probably Barbaro and Empire Maker.
