Bunch of nice colts in that list. A larger group of lightly raced horses. Right now I give a big edge to Uncle Mo. He was brilliant last fall. Has got to be a ton better off his BC Juvenile win. And we know he likes Churchill.

Another colt I'll be watching is Jeff Bonde's Sway Away. I really liked this colt last summer. He went to the sidelines after the Best Pal and is now working well for Jeff. He's a sway backed (likely how he got his name) colt by Afleet Alex and my personal hopeful..

Hi Dub,
Your welcome, glad to help....It's good to watch this list if you're doing any gambling at Gulfstream Park. Many are late developing colts that will try to make a late surge at some graded stakes cash to get them into the Derby......much like Big Brown did. Just yesterday at Gulfstream Park one on the nominations list broke his maiden for Kiaran McLaughlin and owner Mill House....Rattlesnake Bridge, who trains at Palm Meadows is a distance bred gray son of Tapit going 6 furlongs in his debut....Rattlesnake Bridge dropped back around the turn, swung outside and closed with a rush in the center of the track to win going away.
