With the major January preps over with (with the exception of the Sam F Davis which I'm not sure is a Derby product race this year), I thought I would do an early Top 5 list for this year's Kentucky Derby. So here they are:
1. Carpe Diem (Giant's Causeway): The runner up in the Juvenile is starting to get ready for the Fountain of Youth where he could face his stablemate Daredevil.
2. Upstart (Flatter): Holy Bull winner, his options are open if he where to want to go back to NY.
3. Texas Red (Afleet Alex): Juvy winner might have it tough out west if American Pharoah who beat him and Calculator comes back healthy.
4. Ocho Ocho Ocho (Street Sense): The Delta Jackpot may not seem to be the ideal Derby prep, but Goldencents was a winner (as was Big Drama and Rule (dam is 1/2 to Funny Cide).
5. Frosted (Tapit): Runner up in the Holy Bull should improve as the distances get longer.
