I always like Uncaptured, I think he will improve off his last. Rydilluc and Fear the Kitten as well.

Footbridge is interesting.

Was second beaten a neck by Govenor Charlie in a MSW then came out next time and won his MSW.

Son of Street Cry could make a late bid for the roses and sneak in here under the radar for Sheikh Mohammed.

The rest are largely exposed.

Java's War
Uncaptured
Palace Malice
West Hill's Giant

Hi Dub,
Sounds pretty good, he know's what he's talking about...might have to put him in an exacta or two:>) I just hope he doesn't try going to the lead too soon...seems this track has been favoring closer's. Both these final prep races are hard to handicap....but the outcome of both, will certainly help me make a final Derby decision. Thanks for posting that. TJ

This win was very telling for me concerning my Derby choice. I should have known Java's War couldn't get beat when Bill and I both picked him to win:>) Just glad he got the job done...Verrazano moved up big time sitting in the stall today:>) Good exacta Bill! Palace Mailce enter's my Derby contender's list once again....finally got a clean trip and distance will be no problem. TJ

good call bill from wa and tj. makes you wonder what kind of sire we were looking at with War Pass. What a loss to breeders. Wow....

If anyone doesn't want the field we could do with some more burgers over here and throw in Fort Larned to the mincer as well.

Said it was a bad breeders cup classic last year.

Hi Dub,
Cyber Secret was a deserving winner. I picked him in his last race as an up and comer and 6-1 today was an overlay in my opinion. TJ

If Palace Malice needs a clean trip to do that, how's the Derby going to go for him?
I did not like either preps today.

Also, check out Palice Malice's lead switching down the stretch, he looked like he was on the incorrect lead coming off the turn, then switched to the wrong lead after the 1/8 pole, then back onto the correct lead as Java's War gets to him. Bizarre?

Hi Cree,
I saw what you are talking about.....if anything he may not have liked running over the synthetic track for the first time. He was probably getting tired after that run he made as most winners come from far back. The biggest diappointment was Uncaptured who won over synthetic before. TJ
