I'm a fan of Giant Moon, but can't put him in my top five until he actually beats someone.

I can't say I can even come up with 5 I remotely like at this point. The FoY was the only prep I actually liked so far, so by default, Cool Coal Man and Elysium Fields.

No need to mention any of the other plugs.
I think you have this one nailed.

War Pass looks to out run his breeding and Pyro is being brought along by the same connections that missed with Curlin. I like both War Pass and Pyro's chances.

Yankee Bravo-poor guy has Solis on .......all racehorse
Gayego-very dangerous if can 2 turn...horse has the stride to win this.
Colonel John-gets the trip
Pyro-wins it if they run 9 or 9.5 f
Monba-gets the trip

There are many decent horses this year.I just think 1 of these will get up on the day(I expect many others to be too close to a rather fast pace...have to go after War Pass.)

have to agree with the fat man for now. until someone else emerges with some decent victories. the last few years have been disappointing for 3 yo from the west. who knows what colonel john beat last week. remember tiago last year ,he can't even win now, at home. Hey byrn has looked good but can he make 10 furlongs, i don't know ?

Told you Solis would fck that up.Hopefully they get smart and dump him.He chokes badly in these 3 year old races that he has to travel to get to.He wants to win the derby so bad that he is tight like virgin.
