Oxbow is the seasoned vet of this group. I'll take him over Texas Bling and Den's Legacy.
Unless, of course, War Academy really is the freak we hope/wish he is.

Todd Pletcher punches Overanalyze's ticket to Kentucky. War Academy pulled up, was broke out badly before the start. Kenny McPeek with a good turn around for his Frac Daddy. Pletcher and McPeek took center stage today, let's see where they are Derby day. TJ

Ugh. That was not quite what I expected.
Frac Daddy showed up today.
Don't know if Overanalyze looks like a 1 1/4 mile horse, and was this field any good? I wonder...
(I also don't like Repole, so probably biased).

Hi Cree,
I felt the same way after the race....may not have been the best in that one. Will wait and see how they rated these races beyerwise? Falling Sky did fairly well and he was the one I was interested in seeing who he is. Two more wild card races...but they shouldn't have much to say with the Derby outcome. It's coming down to the wire now:>) TJ
