Perhaps I am just crazy, but I thought the horse that actually won the race yesterday was more impressive than any of the horses that did not.
HE might be a Kentucky Derby contender. I certainly wouldn't have him ranked in my top ten or fifteen, because I don't think he beat very much, but I would have him rated higher than Big Truck.

I dunno... agree with Dahoss that perhaps I am just grasping onto whatever contender I can. This year's crop is rather boring so far (War Pass excluded.)

I agree, but somebody will probably emerge in the next couple of weeks. They usually do.
Perhaps Dennis of Cork - or someone else - will generate some excitement starting tomorrow.

Mentioned this in the Tampa thread in Selections, but may be something to consider - Z Humor looked absolutely horrible in the Paddock - completely washed out, so much so that I even contemplated leaving him off my late P3 ticket - I saw Stuttes, Tagg and Mott in the paddock, but Assmussen must have had bigger fish to fry that day, or I just didn't see him - I simply can't imagine that if he was here, the horse wouldn't have looked so bad

Rbe...Z Humor is Mott's horse...Asmusssen has Z Fortune for Zayat. Like you said the horse looked horrible, totally washed out in the paddock and post parade. Have to see what happens next time out...he already has the graded earnings from the Delta Jackpot but I really don't see him as much of a contender in the classics.

Too many Z's running around...hope they don't start getting like all the "Warren's so and so's" you see running in California...it's tough to keep up with them all.
