1. irish war cry
2. gunnevera
3. mccraken
4. thundersnow
5. irap
honorable mention: battle of midway, practical joke
classic empire, hence, always dreaming, malagacy.. i won't pay to see if they can make 1 1/4.. give me them in the Preakness, esp Malagacy-- i'll take the horses more suited to the distance. if the connections eff up thundersnow's arrival to the states then of course i will look to play him in the Belmont Stakes
fyi i won't necessarily bet any of those if the price is short. i think its wide open, esp if any of those 7 that I listed get smashed or bumped in the start. Def throwin cash on midway, thundersnow, irap

Nose's Top 5
1.McCraken-needed his last and looks to bounce back big time May 6th and nobody was closing at Keeneland Fri or Sat.
2.Classic Empire-If he wins Arkansas Derby he will be post time favorite on May 6th
3.Gunnevera-Last race was a toss,terrible break and I think jockey was smart not to use him up getting into contention,plenty of gas for the Derby
4.Always Dreaming-This might be one of the best training jobs by Pletcher. He'll make some noise on Derby Day
5.Hence-My darkhorse for the roses, just have that feeling that he might pop a big one.
Honorable Mention
Irish War Cry-was the best of a slow trio of races on 4/8
Thunder Snow-would really like him if they would just get here earlier.
Girvin-Don't know if he is just a FG horse, I am leaning towards that thought.
J Boy's Echo- one I really hated to not have in my top 5 I will likely give him a pass on the Keeneland race.
I will know more once I see them in person during Dawn at the Downs(hoping for great weather)

I will know more once I see them in person during Dawn at the Downs(hoping for great weather) I like this top 5, but i think if you like McCraken after his slam-a-rama you gonna then consider horses like tapwrit or another closerintoaslowpace Battle of Midway. Hence is super interesting, his center of distribution is +.82.. which suggests he may struggle going longer idk how much stock people put into that but i am not at the track so I can use only crude tools and superficial figs. I have a feeling the pace will be slower than normal but I think timeformus suggests otherwise and I will post here soon a tweet from Timeformus which featues it's pace projector a month out for the Derby (which has Local hero in front, i didn't think he had enough pts). |
