For years I've downplayed the graduates of the Wood Memorial moving forward. I learned to do that after betting on some of the high-profile points winners. That strategy left me disappointed year after year. Nothing but steam.

This year I'm interested in three (3) of this crops luminarys but not the winner.

1) First I like [b]Early Voting[/b] as much as he might disrupt the Kentucky Derby with his terrific early speed. But I'd prefer he entered the [b]Pat Day Stakes.[/b] Where I think he'd win more money.

2) If [b]Morello[/b] is healthy I like both him and [b]Charge It[/b] to pump up the Derby Verticals.

3. [b]Mo Donegal[/b] May beat me but I'll pass on him. However, if owner Klaravich Stables, Inc. and trainer Chad Brown do try the Derby Mo Donegal becomes a possible bet at the last minute.
