Here's The Current Derby Point Standings (PLUS PP'S)
Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2016 12:25 pm
Here's the way it looks so far. The cutoff point is way up there this year, currently 32 points. From the looks of it, a couple bad starts didn't turn off Mohaymen or Shagaf who are definite starters. Maiden, Trojan Nation, is seriously considering a run in the Derby. No official word yet on Danzig Candy...but that was a bad track at SA so I hope he runs. If either Trojan Nation or Danzig Candy do exit, "bubbleboy" Laoban, another maiden will be happy to take the spot. The toughest beat in the points I see is Cherry Wine, who deserves a shot in the Derby. I wonder if Cherry Wine could spice up the wildcard race and run back in a weeks time in The Lexington...if he wins it, he will jump the 32 point group. Looking further forward, the Arkansas Derby could knock out a bunch of the 32 pointers all together with the likes of Creator, Whitmore, Suddenbreakingnews, Discreetness, Dazzling Gem and Unbridled Outlaw looking to knock out the end of the list.
