Maybe add Gunmetal Gray in the mix.

Currently has 18pts and with a 3rd place finish he's all but guaranteed a spot in the gate come May 4th. He's an interesting prospect to catch a minor slice going forward.

Good deal - 90% - I'll know for sure next week.

For Hollendorfer, I like Galilean more than GMG. That horse was 3+ wide the entire California Cup and still finished well. I believe West Point owns a piece of both horses and they’ll move forward with Galilean if he outperforms GMG (assuming Galilean runs).

Given the other competition in the San Felipe, 3rd seems like a best case scenario for GMG.

Also for Hollendorfer, I’m interested to see if Rowayton does anything in 2019 and whether he’ll show a little more stamina or whether he’ll prove to not have the distance in him for the classics.

No he isn't. He is a total mediocrity who has zero chance in a race like the Derby.

I'm willing to give him a shot, especially as the distances increase down the road. He had no chance in the Bob Lewis chasing a lone front runner.
