2020 Kentucky Derby contender watch

[moses]

We’re only 6 months away from the Derby so I figured it might be useful to gather some thoughts about potential Derby contenders. I’ll be trying to get solid odds on some horses when the Pool 1 opens up later this month (I was lucky enough to put some money on Country House in pool 3 last year and locked him in at “great value” at 29-1. Disregard that he went off 65-1 on Derby Day.)

So far, we’ve got a few horses that have really stood out. My hope is to add some additional names and maybe have some conversations about what we like or don’t like about certain horses. Feel free to add any names that you think are worth keeping an eye on.

Independence Hall - Winner of the G3 Nashua Stakes and owner of the crop’s first triple digit beyer figure.

Storm the Court - Winner of the G1 BC Juvenile

Tiz the Law - Winner of the G1 Champagne Stakes

Structor - Winner of the G1 BC Juvenile Turf and who’s reportedly going to try dirt

Maxfield - Winner of the G1 Breeders Futurity

One horse that I really like is Green Light Go despite the recent loss to Tiz the Law. I think that he could really improve by May of next year so I’m going to keep a watch on him.
