Street Sense and Any Given Saturday are the only two 3yos out there with two triple digit Beyers at this point. Only Nobiz Like Shobiz has a better 3rd best Beyer than AGS (by one point). To dismiss him off this race is borderline insane.

Call me insane,but I am dismissing him as far as winning the Derby goes.I won't be surprised if he runs a close 2nd,but he will not be 1st.Somebody will beat him.

OK, well I can't call someone saying a horse might run a close 2nd in the Derby to be dismissing him. It will be a 20 horse field that hasn't even been drawn yet so suggesting a horse won't do better than a close 2nd is hardly putting your neck on the chopping block. You can't call a horse second tier that you think will be right there at the wire in the Stampede sponsored by Yum Brands.

I'm boxing all of Pletcher's horses. I have a feeling they'll run great on Derby day.

A ten horse box isn't going to be the cheapest way to go.

Should I throw out a few and include o'neill and assmoosen?

Gee, THAT is some prognostication considering that the Derby is a 15 -20 horse field
