The Crown’s second jewel
Most Rachel drama since “Friends”
Should make good watching
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
#1 – Big Drama
Does well off long breaks
Will duel for lead, but can last
Shooter with a shot
#2 – Mine That Bird
Historic upset
Best horse or opportunist?
No Borel, no chance
#3 – Musket Man
A pleasant surprise
Answered class, distance questions
As live as any
#4 – Luv Gov
Best name in the field
Took ten starts to break maiden
Would be a huge shock
#5 – Friesan Fire
Derby’s biggest bust
In-race hoof woes a concern
Has he recovered?
#6 – Terrain
Wisely skipped Derby
Globetrotter on eighth new track
An exotic threat
#7 – Papa Clem
Off two big efforts
Almost always a factor
Is a bounce looming?
#8 – General Quarters
A minor letdown
Rough trip in race, ride to track
Was Blue Grass his peak?
#9 – Pioneerof The Nile
Hey, he handles dirt!
Great trip, ran into buzzsaw
Will be tough to beat
#10 – Flying Private
Crossed the wire last
Lane’s End now an afterthought
Doesn’t look likely
#11 – Take The Points
Passed on the big dance
Second tier on the west coast
Middle of the pack
#12 – Tone It Down
A local entry
Could draft Mine That Bird on rail
Too much here to beat
#13 – Rachel Alexandra
The filly phenom
Stallion showcase gains intrigue
Talent should trump post
