Prior to that, at Del Mar, Iggy had the mount and he was 2nd which shows that he doesn't need a good jockey (I do like Talamo a LOT).

I like Talamo a LOT (I just said that but it's officially a reason).

He looked good beating Omega Star and Surfcup back in January.

I like that his trainer is not a Pletcher or Baffert type.

He'll be at good odds.

He is the biggest horse his owners have ever had... hard not to root for that kinda thing.
AWESOME Now I'd like to hear from the soup 99 guy.

Anyway the points are assigned 5 for top pick,4 for 2nd,etc.
You chose him 4th giving him 2 points so you are the only one who chose him

Thank you, kind Sir, for the very nice points.

It's a good thing Dewey won't make the field cause my answer woulda been "cause he's so cute".

As of now, these are the top five I would use to key on top of a tri, I would certainly use others underneath, but not in the win slot:

Orb
Verrazano
Goldencents
Vyjack
Itsmyluckyday

Oxbow is the only other I'm considering on top.

I think Normandy invasion and Revolutionary are keys underneath (the best bets to hit the board but not win) - although I also like in Vyjack in all three slots as well.
