Default Top Five You Want to Play Against

Who are the five horses you are really hoping make it into the starting gate for the Derby with some momentum cause you feel they will be vastly overbet come Derby Day and have no shot of hitting the trifecta?

1. Court Vision
2. Cowboy Cal
3. Talk of Ekati
4. Majestic Warrior
5. Giant Moon

1. Z Humor even though I've got $$ on him from way back
2. Turf War
3. Anak Nakal
4. Giant Moon
5. Whoever wins the Lanes End

I guess most of these won't be taking a whole lot of $$ period, but any of the $$ they do take is dead.

Why don't we just skip making the actual horses run and fill the starting gates with their papers showing their breeding since that's what will win or lose the race. Best bred horse is the winner.

One thing is for sure, under that scenario Giant Moon wouldn't be anywhere near the starting gate.
