According to PG1985 and his expert handicapping,all of them.

All of his that ran today should be out. Cobalt Blue looks like an awfully good animal to me, he did not run a lick and he is way behind. Later days for him, time to wait. Liquidity... has had his chance and needs a rest. Oniell still has Notional and Great Hunter. Great Hunter looks to be very professional horse. Notional hopefully is on his way to getting better.

His Derby crop is chopped, as it should be, by races that have indicated horses are not ready or do not belong at all. I personally would have been more dissappointed by Liquidity. He has not improved. Cobalt Blue needs further testing imo.

He still has Great Hunter...And the Cali king Lava Man...I will not shed a tear for him.

I am beyond disappointed in Liquidity...

As for Cobalt Blue, he just stopped. I definitely expected a much better effort than that.

Well, at least this debunks the confusing comments that O'Neill claims he didn't have him ready in Louisianna after shipping him 2000 miles.

I just love trainerspeak.

Another observation from today, did anyone notice Nakatani looking back numerous times on Liquidity before the top of the stretch... once they made the turn, he no longer had to look behind him!

Yes he did, but it did not affect the horse at all imo. His horse had nothing. I guess he did not know it at that point. It was useless looking back unless he was trying to count the number of horses that were going to pass him.

I'm guessing he got stuck on three.

The only O'Neill horse that has a shot to win the Derby is Great Hunter. . . He should win the Bluegrass because he seems to love the poly. . .
