Creative Cause 102
Liaison 12
Union Rags 84
Rousing Sermon 26
Hansen 100
Daddy Nose Best 60
Optimizer 23
Alpha 54
El Padrino 62
Done Talking 1? (I think they accidentally omitted the Ill Derby)
Sabercat 30
Gemologist 110
Trinniberg 0
Prospective 64
Take Charge Indy 101
Daddy Long Legs 100

If you look at it this way it looks pretty good, just eliminating hopeless horses. This system will make the last 2 major preps in CA, NY, FL,ARK, and LA have large loaded fields.
