There are some really nice patterns in this race, I think that Omaha Beach's last was too fast, we have seen only a few young 3 year olds go that low, and none of them pair up. Improbable's sheet looks a little better, but I agree with the consensus that his breeding is not for the derby. Tacitus, while fast enough has improved alot from his 2 year top, and I don't see him improving any more at this time.
What about a horse like Tax? small improvement over his 2 year old top, has speed for position, and competitive on numbers. There are a few who are close to fast enough now, and with some improvement (sort of how Omaha Beach improved in his last) could run fast enough to win. (spinoff for one)
Game winners sheet is looks amazing, but he was 4 wide is a 6 horse field, how is he going to fare with 19 other horses jockeying for position?
This is a difficult puzzle, and an important piece (post positions) is yet to be determined.
Good Luck to all.
