Thanks for all the info, ed. I'm familiar with Tell a Tale (thanks to your past posts and replays)... Sufficient though - tell me about that one cause I seem to remember liking that one but am not quite awake.

Ok, I'll do him next!
SUFFICIENT Colt Zabeel - Fleur De Chine Trainer: Bruce Wallace Starts: 7 1st: 2 2nd: 2 3rd: 0 Earnings: $60,591 1st Champagne Stakes  Sufficient making a winning start to his Derby campaign, at Ellerslie last month. Videos: Champagne Stakes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un45IOdESm0 Route to the Derby: Championship Stakes at Ellerslie, Feb 14. Derby Futures: 7-1 (4th fav) PROS: - 2 wins at Ellerslie, including Champagne Stakes over 1m as a 2yo - By Zabeel! He has sired 3 Derby winners - Zonda, Helene Vitality, St Reims CONS: - 2yo earnings don't count. He is 18th at the moment, but if he doesn't run well in the Championship Stakes others could push him out of the field.

LE BARON
Gelding Zabeel - Dame Mapperley Trainer: Donna, Dean Logan & Chris Gibbs Starts: 7 1st: 3 2nd: 1 3rd: 2 Earnings: $134,015 1st Great Northern Guineas (G2) 1st Guineas Prelude Le Baron (outside - blue, black and green) surging to the lead from the back of the field in the Great Northern Guineas at Ellerslie on Boxing Day. Videos: Great Northern Guineas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0E9250t9mQ Route to the Derby: Championship Stakes at Ellerslie, Feb 14. Derby Futures: 5-1 (fav) PROS: - Undefeated in 2 starts beyond a mile - Loads of stamina in the pedigree - 2 stakes wins at Ellerslie, which is of course where the Derby is CONS: - Only 8th, without excuses, in his resuming run on January 25th. It was only over a mile, but he should have done better than that.

Updates:
- Jungle Boots won easily today, he's in the top 18 on earnings now - Sun Ruler only 3rd at Avondale yesterday - unlikely to make the field - Tell A Tale was heroic today, 2nd in a G1 against older horses and suffering an injury in the race. Possible stress fracture.  Hope he's ok.Anyway, on to Easy Ryder. EASY RYDER Gelding Brilliance - Ledahead Starts: 4 1st: 2 2nd: 1 3rd: 0 Earnings: $52,935 1st Waikato Guineas (G3)  Winning the Waikato Guineas. Videos: Waikato Guineas - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPverN-DjFI Random Fact: He was sold for $500 as a yearling! Route to the Derby: Probably straight to the Derby without another race. Derby Futures: 9-1 (5th fav) PROS: - Strong win over 2000m in the Waikato Guineas. - Distance should be no problem CONS: - Never raced at Ellerslie, or at any clockwise track. - Stable rates Jungle Boots higher.

He can't do that in the Derby and win.
