  1. I love Silver Z.  I always bet on a grey horse.  LOL.


  2. war pass

    col. john

  3. Pyro, definatley.

  4. Well, it's very early to start this discussion.

    Some horses that stand out are:

    War Pass - he's undefeated thus far in his career.  He wired the Breeders Cup Juvenile field and made it look really easy.  He did the same thing in the Champagne.  He hasn't raced since the BC Juvie and should start soon in an allowance.  Some negatives about this horse: Street Sense is the only horse in history who has won the BC Juvie and gone on to win the Derby... that means it's not an easy thing to accomplish, so War Pass has a disadvantage.  Second, War Pass likes to win wire to wire... as the distances get longer, that will get more difficult... it's incredibly difficult to go wire to wire over a mile and a quarter on the first saturday in May with 19 horses chasing you.

    Pyro - he was second to War Pass in both the Champagne and BC Juvie.  He made a strong run each time and was gaining ground at the finish.  He has come back stronger than ever to win his first race as a 3 year old... he won the Risen Star last weekend with a stunning closing run... he went from last to first in a quarter mile... he was behind a wall of horses, angled out sharply to find running room, then flew past all the other horses... his final quarter mile was just over 22 seconds... 22 seconds is quick for a 3 year old's opening quarter and horses are supposed to slow down after running 7 furlongs...  to run your final quarter in 22 is an amazing feat for a 3 year old colt.  I'd say he has a great chance to win the Derby.

    Majestic Warrior - he won the Hopeful easily when everyone expected it to be a match race between Maimonides and Ready's Image.  He was injured in the Champagne so showed only a flat effort and hasn't raced since that day.  He has run a couple of workouts this year and should have his first start soon.  If he comes back as strong as he was in the Hopeful, he'll have a great chance to win.

    J Be K - he broke his maiden first time out and broke the Saratoga track record along with it.  Unfortunately he didn't race again as a 2 year old.  He won an allowance on Friday for his 2nd start of his career.  Negatives: he's another who wins wire to wire.  And he only had that one race as a 2 year old and didn't run again until February... That leaves time only for 2 or 3 more races before the Derby so it will be hard for him to get enough experience to handle the 20 horse field, but he does have the raw talent to win.

    There are many others with a good chance and others who haven't developed into Derby contenders but will be great by May.

  5. my horse.

    be sure to bet all your $$ on him.
