Bill Mott winning a derby works for me. I have to see Hidden Scroll on a dry track. Hidden Scroll certainly can handle a wet one.

Maybe add Gunmetal Gray in the mix.

Currently has 18pts and with a 3rd place finish he's all but guaranteed a spot in the gate come May 4th. He's an interesting prospect to catch a minor slice going forward.

Waiting to hear back from Mrs. Lyon or Baffert about Magic On Tap, but he's not working, so I wouldn't expect anything soon.
thanks Steve...that's what I thought

Good deal - 90% - I'll know for sure next week.

It’s probably just because I have a futures wager on him at 35-1, but I Hope Vekoma dominates him in the FoY. The field looks like it could be pretty good.

Fountain of Youth
Probables
Admire (Romans)
Vekoma (Weaver)
Hidden Scroll (Mott)
Bourbon War (Hennig)
Signalman (McPeek)
Code of Honor (McGaughey)

Possibles
Global Campaign (Hough)
Maximus Mischief (Reid)
Harvey Wallbanger (McPeek)
Mihos (Jerkens)

For Hollendorfer, I like Galilean more than GMG. That horse was 3+ wide the entire California Cup and still finished well. I believe West Point owns a piece of both horses and they値l move forward with Galilean if he outperforms GMG (assuming Galilean runs).

Given the other competition in the San Felipe, 3rd seems like a best case scenario for GMG.

Also for Hollendorfer, I知 interested to see if Rowayton does anything in 2019 and whether he値l show a little more stamina or whether he値l prove to not have the distance in him for the classics.

He痴 got a shot for sure. I知 on the Vekoma bandwagon but can稚 count out a handful of the horses mentioned as probables/possibles. McPeek plans to run Signalman in the FoY, and I think may rest HW and shoot for the Florida Derby with him, which may be a pretty good plan. Why push him if you think he can win the Florida Derby?

No he isn't. He is a total mediocrity who has zero chance in a race like the Derby.

I'm willing to give him a shot, especially as the distances increase down the road. He had no chance in the Bob Lewis chasing a lone front runner.

HW seems to run well every race. I知 sure he could pass some tired rivals but I don稚 see him in the top tier (and there may be 2-3 very good horses in the FoY).

I知 not really impressed with any of the horses from the Holy Bull. I may cut Maximus Mischief some slack because he was off the lay-off. But so was HW.

The replays tell the story. He has run well every time and wants to compete. I like competitive types .
