i think 2 ... giant moon and roman emperor.
and saratoga russell is possible, if they find a prep that he can steal. he is obviously very fast, i would never play him, but i am sure they want to get him there.

All of those horses would drown against War Pass in the Wood. The only reason I could see one horse making the Derby is the likelihood that someone from this field would go to the Illinois Derby to duck War Pass and pick up some cheap earnings.

The Gotham is an interesting race, and perhaps a very good betting race, especially if Giant Moon is even close to the favorite, but as of now nobody in there has done anything to distinguish themselves. A lot of perfect trip winners from what I can see.

I just hope it's an even/fair track.

Really? Pletcher's horse Holidaze will be bet?

He will take next to no money. He's about the longest shot on the list.

You might be right. I can't place him. Anyone know where that horse has run recently?

I believe Giant Moon, the luckiest horse in racing, kept his streak of good fortune alive by drawing the rail in the Gotham.

Funny.

I am all ready to burn some money on Master Daniel in the El Camino...

Master David, Master Daniel... oh what the hell, why not. My son's name is Daniel, so it just might work out.

I think you might want to over the LA Derby some more too if you somehow came up with Yankee Bravo. He seems VERY unlikely to me in this race.
