What the Nation is saying about Kentucky Derby Dreams: Top 10 (Dec 31st)...

As for Baffert be absolutely loaded, I don't thing so from the two i liked one Clutch Player died the other Tiz Chrome he's bred to route acts like an old pro has run fast 97 beyer yes only 6 1/2f. My worry with him he has short legs maybe he's the next Northern Dancer will have to wait. For the other's Tiny Woods Sprinter no doubt, Conveyance Dr. Steven Romans says Indian Charlie his sire and Holy Bull his dame sire are intermediate Speed (non chef-de race). And in conclusion Looking At Lucky has'nt run that fast so i'am not buying.
Take Control is to green to make the Kentucky Derby his next start is going to be an allowance race. He needs the seasoning and will lack the graded stakes money also to make the derby a horse needs a good mind and talent. He is talented no doubt about it maybe second half of the year that's my guess.
Take Control will be a Top 10 Derby player after he proves himself in the stakes ranks. Great start to his career though!.
Take Control was definitely impressive. Baffert is absolutely loaded for this upcoming year.
Take Control for sure...
Good list, but I would put Take Control into the top 10 based on that huge debut effort. Not to get overly hyped, but it was a two-turn race, and he's by AP Indy, so you can put a check mark by the route and distance questions.
