Triple Crown latecomer nominations

Here are a group of late nominations for the Triple Crown trail... I'd love to see folks rank them into horses likely to make the Derby (if not the Derby then will they make the Preakness/Belmont) and who's not even gonna hear the gun go off. Let's face it, most TC noms fall into that last category, some realize that later than others however. Sorry they're in all caps, I just copied and pasted. The people are the owner and then trainer apparently---please tell me Richard W. Small doesn't go by Dick Small. Also not sure why this is happening but I went to check out Cristobal's breeding and when you click on his dam to see who else she's foaled, Cristobal himself doesn't show up. He's by Aptitude incidentally.

CATMAN RUNNING, Joe Harris and Eric R. Reed
VOW TO GREATNESS, Paul Knuckley and Randy Allen
DELIGHTFUL KISS, Hobeau Farms and Pete Anderson
ETUDE, Fitzhugh LLC (Robert Meyerhoff) and Richard W. Small
REPTILIAN SMARTS, Christopher J. Hall and Tim Ritvo
MEDICI CODE, Herrick Racing and Darrell Vienna
QUITE ACCEPTABLE, Silver Wing Stables and Shannon Ritter
CRISTOBAL (nominated from France), Edmund Gann and Jean-Claude Rouget
LOVE DUBAI, Ron Peltz and Mike Maker
COURT THE KING, Marta Racing Ventures and John Sadler

I don't see Etude being pointed for the KY Derby...I think he's out for a home team win at the Preakness.

Just like Dad in the Pimlico Special and Granddad in the General George.

Can't these connections find something better to do with $6,000? A trip to Tahiti sounds nice!

All excess funds used in nominating useless horses to the T.C. should be donated instead to the geowarrior treasure chest. Funds will be used to keep me in the style to which I'd like to become accustomed.
