Since none of the big 5 prep races have been run yet: Florida Derby, Blue Grass, Wood Memorial, Arkansas Derby and Santa Anita Derby the following is a very short list of Derby candidates that I feel have what it takes to win at 10 furlongs: (note that I list their conduit mares as a prerequisite to the roses)
Mohaymen- they haven't gotten to his bottom yet. Conduit---Cherokee Rose
Cupid-------Game effort in last where he showed heart-------Lygie
Gun Runner---He has staying power----------------------------Lygie
Lani--Won the UAE Derby without being asked----------------Cherokee Rose
The above are my top 4 right now. Of course that can change in the next 3 weeks. Once again, 67% of the last 42 Derbies were won by horses that carried a strong conduit mare in tail female. That is why I listed the above conduits as a major factor. ( I define a strong conduit mare as one of my special 39 conduits found in my book-Analyzing The Triple Crown.
