Overanalyze reportedly working like a beast at OP. He's my pick. Den's Legacy should finish in the SF. Some combination of Falling Sky, Carve, Oxbow, and War Academy in the other two spots.

1. Uncaptured 2. Palace Malice 3. Rydilluc 4. Undrafted

I'd like to see Uncaptured win, but there are bigger and better things on the horizon. I wouldn't want my money to be on any other horse in a fight down the stretch. I like Rydiilluc, but he may not like the surface.

Scored in convincing fashion today at Fairmount Park at 16-1. Wish I had more on her.

Per DRF, Atigun is finally adding blinkers for the Oaklawn Handicap. Strong work in them. Hoping for good odds.

Verrazano wasn't all out, more of a hand ride. Good performances from the top 3. Vyjack looks like he doesn't want any more ground. Normandy closed well into a paceless race.

It is an absolute travesty what Lukas is doing to this horse. A 3yo filly with 13 starts? Shameful.

Flashback by many... who underneath for some value? S99/TaM/PB needs at least 3rd to have a shot at the Derby. Flashback and Goldencents would make it with at least a 4th place finish. HTG is in. The rest to get in the exacta.

I like Elnaawi has a good shot. I think Vyjack's pedigree catches up with him at 9f, just as his brother Goldencents.

I will say it again, I loved the new dimension and tactical placing of Orb in this race, definitely needed to be successful in the Derby. My unscientific final Derby projected times had the first five finishers (plus Union Rags) in the top six times. I'll try it again this year.
