There are still plenty of non-Baffert horses that have a shot. Heck, Baffert hasn’t even won a major prep yet and only has 1 horse currently locked into a derby spot.

I say He has at least 2 in the race and they will probably be the best horses but it is the derby and strange things sometimes happen. I guess I really just don't see a standout horse in this bunch.

Dessman (Baffert)...coming up
Much Better (Baffert)...coming up
Roadster (Baffert)..coming up

Game Winner (Baffert)...in

....but maybe if thinking that this is not a great crop of 3YO horses maybe it is time for a long shot.

peaking my interest now are ....


Long Range Toddy.if I was betting today

Haikal

Omaha Beach

and Maximum Security because he is undefeated. Although besides the F.D. He hasn't beaten much.

I don’t think Omaha Beach is going to have very long odds, especially if he runs well again in the Arkansas Derby.

I love the pedigree for Long Range Toddy. Totally missed that in the Rebel because I was lazy and thought the Bafferts would easily take it. I don’t know if he’ll continue to improve but he is a better horse than most people were giving him credit for. We’ll see what happens but he could provide some very good value in the Derby. I’m hoping things are a little clearer after this weekend. I’m really looking forward to each prep this weekend, each for a different reason.
