Nobiz holds lead while Hard Spun drops
It's been a busy week at The Racing Dispatch as we get ready to launch a new feature within the next day (maybe hours). Meanwhile, votes are in and Nobiz Like Shobiz holds his lead in the poll while Hard Spun, who ran below expectations in Monday's Southwest, dropped considerably.

Inspite of the 107 Beyer, for a trainer who's won the Kentucky Derby 3 times, and will no doubt try to make the race with this horse at all costs, I see that Flying First Class didn't get a single top 20 vote from one person.
While, I don't personally like his Derby chances, it is a little funny to see him missing from the "others recieving votes" --- and seeing names like Pegasus Wind and Our Sacred Honor on there!

And Hard Spun seems to have taken a hit in the rankings...which suggests the new voting occured after Monday.

I'm inclined to think the Chase City is an error on the voters part, I'll email them and find out. I don't check each and every vote, as we have a great panel and they know what's up and up.

Well, it does only take one person putting Chase City in 16th place for him to have those five points.

To think that just two short years ago, we had a seasoned 2 year old in Afleet Alex as the Kentucky Derby favorite. I don't believe that the problem is lack to talent in this year's crop, but, rather, lack of experience in order to try to evaluate the crop. For me, Street Sense won going away over the Churchill Track so he's the only horse that I'm taking very seriously right now. After the Florida Derby, Wood Memorial, Arkansas Derby, and Santa Anita Derby, hopefully, praise God and other dieities, we might know a whole lot more.

Steve,
Are you going to post your ballot on here for us? Interested to see how last weekend affected your support of Hard Spun, who I see has zero first-place votes now.

Like Liquidity alot. But he does need to win one I think somewhere along the line here to make me a little more confident.
Still waiting CP West. Anyone have any info on him? Appears he might be too late getting started to make inpact in Derby. Too bad because I have liked him since maiden breaker last year
