That's about it.

Should be in the top 10:
Galilean
Gunmetal Gray
Long Range Toddy
Network Effect

Interesting that Roadster is on that list despite not showing much in his last race plus he hasn't run in forever.

You can't put Galilean in the top 10 and not even mention Cruel Intention.

With respect to the Kentucky Derby you can.

Galilean is actively racing and training.

Cruel Intention is not. He hasn't worked back since his last race over 2 months ago.

I cannot find anything reasoning why. Wonder what happened.

Sure I can.
There's plenty of reasons I like Galilean much better.

First Cruel Intention:
Cruel Intention is sired by Smiling Tiger......I just don't see a colt by ST catching 10 furlongs....pure sprint breeding.
As Spalding mentioned......CI is in witness protection,don't like the timing.
Plus when CI was last seen it looked like he needed time to bulk up.....Galilean was much more developed physically.

Now Galilean:
As mentioned above.....Galilean is busting out in muscle and overall looks.....he looks like a beast.
His King Glorious was super impressive up and down.....every bit of that run was quality......I don't really follow speed figures,but I would guess his Los Al number would hold up nicely.
He's certainly not your typical Cal-bred......A 600k Uncle Mo that West Point jumped at......they knew.
Hollendorfer has three solid ones looking at the Derby.......this one might be the sleeper of the lot.
