i though B&J would be a sneaky pick, but now that he's 5-1, there's not a lot of value.

i liked the move from '5' to '3', then to '0.5' on his derby march. put a line through the derby (espn told us to). i think he was completely cranked for the wood, and had little left at the end, so it's unlikely he's topping that effort soon, but he does have the look of a horse that might get the 12f if rated well. again, i don't like the odds, but i like post four with three closers drawn inside. a run in the '2' range maybe?

bluegrass could be tough. he's a solid one paced animal with a big heart (outstanding pedigree on bottom). JR might have his hand forced a bit early with the post. my father likes this horse a lot, and he hits this race 50% of the time. jimbo had him at huge futures odds in the derby, i'm guessing he likes him here as well.

sunriver is good. could be best. i like pletcher on more than three weeks though.

sacred light is a plodder that might get a piece.

the recent maiden winner is well bred on bottom.

........

so i guess its B&J over the rest, without a lot of confidence.

good luck everyone!!
