Classic Empire at single digits? Is this class that bad? Only one I'd want out of these is One Liner.

I am very interested in ILIAD, if he can get 10 f, watch out,the other two I would consider are one liner and Gunnevera, Don't know about health issues McCracken and classic empire, if healthy these two must be considered,right now these are my top 5 , can't wait to see ILIAD in Saturday's race at Santa Anita, he reminds me of Goldencents a little, GOD BLESS EVERY One

Iliad is a half-brother to a multiple stakes winner who routinely won or placed in stakes between 10f and 14f. If he can ration his speed a bit more, perhaps some of this stamina will be displayed in subsequent starts.

Battalion Runner might be OK. IMO he could be Todd's best horse since Outwork. I think Romans horse from Saturday is better then a lot of people think. I see a lot of internet guys comparing him to other Romans plodders. I think he is more then that. Don't get me wrong he got a dream trip/setup Saturday, but he still finished. The race before he got a horrible wide trip and still ran well.
Irish War Cry ran to bad to be true. He is better then that. Chads horse from that race I thought ran huge first off the layoff. He made that huge move and couldn't sustain it. He might have distance limitations though.
Honestly no one blows me away in this crop yet. I'm not even a fan of Mastery. Maybe American Anthem?
Who can you have confidence in? 2 of the top horses are hurt or have minor issues. Then 2 horse out of the next tier lost badly this weekend. Not a fan of Girvin at all. Who does that leave you with? Oh yea and my horse Mo Town skipped races in NY that he was supposed to be pointing to and then ran like ****. Who knows....

The San Felipe and the Tampa Bay Derby are going to be huge - Tapwrit looks to me like TAP's best prospect thus far - expect a huge effort Saturday. Exciting weekend.

If a horse gets taken from Bob and wins the Derby it will be the greatest injustice in the history of the sport.

Iliad winning the Derby several months removed from Baffert's barn would be nothing compared to War Emblem winning the 2002 Derby after being transferred to Baffert's barn a couple of weeks before the race.
