I like Code West in here. And I can't decide between the two Stall Jr. horses.

Ground Transport is my pick! I should get some long odds on him, hope he makes me some money!

Revolutionary's late run and scything down of the opposition put he down as a potential wonder horse or just another horse who beat a field full of no hopers on the Derby Trail.

He's my pick.

Hi Dub,
Good pick...guess you have your RAN derby shot now:>) He galloped out after the race like a real 1 1/4 horse. TJ

TJ Revolutionary isn't a RAN sireline.

He is by War Pass, the ill fated Champion 2yr old from a few years back.

He is from the family of Mineshaft and other good horses.
The Derby trip and Belmont should be right up his street.

Still a few races to go to finalise the Derby field, the draw could play a part also Lines of Battle, the War Front colt from the family of Dynaformer amongst others who won the UAE Derby today could play a part also. Another non RAN sireline horse.

Both colts, look tremendous stallion prospects already and it's not yet April of their 3yr old careers - super excited by their pedigrees and racing ability.

Hi Dub,
Thanks for the correction....I never looked, thought I remembered you saying he was RAN line. I better go back to bingo:>) I'm posting the Wood and SA Derby probables shortly....will put the official entries up on Wednesday. TJ
