Here we go: 1. The Magic Mike Show (1/5) Doppelgänger – He made no impact again, this time in the Pat Day Mile (G2).Epicenter – It was a heartbreaking loss for him in the Kentucky Derby (G1); however, he has proven to be the MVP of this league so far. White Abarrio – The Kentucky Derby (G1) was not his day; however, he has been great for this team. Strava – He’s the gift that finally gave…as he earned 1 point for running in the Lexington Stakes (G3).Gilded Age – He was nowhere to be found in the UAE Derby (G2) but has resumed training at Belmont Park. 2. Jon White/Ryan Stillman (7/2) Secret Oath – The filly won the Kentucky Oaks (G1) and is now pointing towards the Preakness Stakes (G1).Tawny Port – He wasn’t awful in the Kentucky Derby (G1); however, he couldn’t run well enough to make much of an impact.Early Voting – It was a heartbreaking loss for him in the Wood Memorial (G2), losing the lead late and finishing second. He’s pointing towards the Preakness Stakes (G1).Rich Strike – This team claimed the Kentucky Derby (G1) winner with the hopes he’ll keep his cinderella story going throughout the Triple Crown.In Due Time – He was very average in the Lexington Stakes (G3), finishing a lackluster third as the favorite. 3. Austin Elsey/Steve “Evil Steveil” Ronchetto (5/1) Zandon – He was right there with a chance to win the Kentucky Derby (G1) but just couldn’t quite get there.My Prankster – He was much improved in the Pat Day Mile (G2).Ethereal Road – He scratched out of the Kentucky Derby (G1), which allowed Rich Strike to run and win!Cyberknife – This horse was nowhere to be found in the Kentucky Derby (G1).Chasing Time – He has gone backwards with back-to-back poor efforts. 4. Real Dynasty (50/1) Pappacap – This horse improved cutting back in distance, finishing second in the Pat Day Mile (G2).Crown Pride – He did what all UAE Derby (G2) runners do in the Kentucky Derby (G1): NOTHING.Simplification – He put up a solid effort in the Kentucky Derby (G1), finishing fourth.Un Ojo – He ended up skipping the Kentucky Derby (G1) with a minor foot injury but is reportedly targeting the Preakness Stakes (G1). Zozos – The pace hurt his chances; however, he wasn’t awful in the Kentucky Derby (G1). 5. Geist (50/1) Mo Donegal – He fell just short of hitting the board in the Kentucky Derby (G1) despite getting a perfect setup.Make It Big – He was pretty disappointing in the Sam F. Davis Stakes (G3) and fell off the Derby Trail.Dean’s List – This horse did not run well at Aqueduct in the Bay Shore Stakes (G3).Barber Road – He did what he always does in the Kentucky Derby (G1), showing up with a run, but not good enough to make an impact. Gunite – He’s finally back on the work tab with breezes at Churchill Downs. 6. Jared Welch (50/1) Emmanuel – He ran better in the Blue Grass Stakes (G1), but still finished third. He is moving to the turf after that performance. Commandperformance – They gave him another shot in the Blue Grass Stakes (G1), but he still was unable to make an impact. Taiba – The clock struck midnight as he didn’t show up with his best effort in the Kentucky Derby (G1).Stellar Tap – He couldn’t even make an impact in the Oaklawn Stakes; however, at least he earned 1 participation point for his Fantasy owner.Wit – He came back with a pretty solid victory in the Bay Shore Stakes (G3) at Aqueduct. It was nice to see him finally break well from the gate. 7. Aaron Halterman (50/1) Jack Christopher – Hooray! The teams #1 pick came back a winner in the Pat Day Mile (G2).Messier – A hot pace burned him up in the Kentucky Derby (G1).Unpredictable Bay – This horse is starting to run better; however, he still is yet to pick up a victory this year.Sir London – He sucked something fierce in the Robert B. Lewis Stakes (G3). We the People – He completely no-showed in the Arkansas Derby (G1). We’ll see him this weekend in the Peter Pan Stakes (G3) at Belmont Park. 8. Paul “Free Beers” Withrow (50/1) Smile Happy – He wasn’t awful; however, he couldn’t make an impact in the Kentucky Derby (G1).Charge It – The Kentucky Derby (G1) was a disaster for him. Echo Zulu – She ran well; however, she couldn’t finish the deal in the Kentucky Oaks (G1).McLaren Vale – Yikes, he’s not good.American Icon – It’s never good when you lose against allowance horses. They hit the reset button with him after just 2 starts. 9. Kelby Von Hemel (50/1) Blackadder – He was a no-show in the Blue Grass Stakes (G1) and is not under consideration for the Preakness Stakes (G1) despite holding an automatic berth.Rattle N Roll – Big surprise, he was nowhere to be found again in the Blue Grass Stakes (G1).Call Me Midnight – He was basically nowhere to be found in the Lexington Stakes (G3).Pinehurst – The distance finally got to this horse as he was eased in the UAE Derby (G2).Forbidden Kingdom – He quit in the Santa Anita Derby (G1) and is now off the Triple Crown Trail. 10. Dan Waite and Michael Myers (50/1) Set Sail – The newest claim is pointing for the Peter Pan Stakes (G3) this weekend.Slow Down Andy – He won the Sunland Derby (G3) to bring this team out of last place temporarily, but missing the Kentucky Derby (G1) helped send this team back down to the bottom. Major General – This horse was awful in the Pat Day Mile (G2).High Oak – You always hate to see a horse fall, but the good news is he is reportedly unharmed by the incident from the Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2).Electability – The other newest claim is also pointing to the Peter Pan Stakes (G3) this weekend. Basically, they’re trying to find a sneaky Belmont Stakes (G1) winner to get them out of last.
