Roman Centurian – His San Felipe Stakes (G2) performance left a lot to be desired; however, it was good enough to see him again in the Santa Anita Derby (G1).Known Agenda – This team just can’t stop making claims! The newest member of the team impressively won an allowance last time out at Gulfstream Park, though he did it with Lasix.Concert Tour – He rose quickly up the ranks after a solid victory in the San Vicente Stakes (G2) and is headed to the Rebel Stakes (G2) this weekend.Dream Shake – This recent claim ran decent in the San Felipe Stakes (G2), finishing third. 2. Real Dynasty (4/1) Keepmeinmind – The Kentucky Jockey Club (G2) winner was drafted to be a consistent points-earner this season but still hasn’t raced.

Mike “Saratoga Slim” Spector (5/1) Speaker’s Corner – This Bill Mott trainee looked great last time out, beating two horses who have since won impressively. He’s getting going late in the game, but at least he’s back working out. Caddo River – The Brad Cox trainee looked like the real deal with an absolute romp at Oaklawn Park in the Smarty Jones Stakes. We’ll see him this weekend in the Rebel Stakes (G2).Savile Row – He impressed in his debut at Del Mar on 11/8; however, he hasn’t been on the work tab since. Risk Taking – This late-round draft pick paid off with a big win in the Withers Stakes (G3). Candy Man Rocket – A tough trip saw him finish off the board in the Tampa Bay Derby (G2). 4. Dan Waite and Michael Myers (5/1) Essential Quality – Boom! This team needed him to come back strong, and that’s exactly what happened as he powered home to an easy win in the Southwest Stakes (G3).Smiley Sobotka – It’s a mystery why he didn’t run anywhere this past weekend. He’s working steadily, so he should be back soon. Team Merchants – The Nyquist colt was impressive when breaking his maiden and finally had his first 2021 workout on March 6!Wolfie’s Dynaghost – He broke his maiden impressively on debut at Aqueduct on 11/14 but hasn’t worked since. Drain the Clock – He ran a good second in the Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) but will still cut back to shorter races. 5. Austin Elsey/Steve “Evil Steveil” Ronchetto (8/1) Classier – This Bob Baffert trainee was impressive on debut but hasn’t worked since 11/28. Spielberg – He finished a decent second in the Southwest Stakes (G3) at Oaklawn Park.Freedom Fighter – Yikes, his stretch out to a mile in the Gotham Stakes (G3) did not go well. Greatest Honour – He won yet again in the Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2), catapulting this team into first place in the points standings.Manor House – He was beyond bad in a Fair Grounds allowance in his last start ( Content Continues Below Ad ) 6. The Killer Bs (8/1) Mandaloun – This team now looks solid after a big win from this horse in the Risen Star Stakes (G2).The Great One – A wide trip gave him little chance to make an impact in the San Felipe Stakes (G2).Get Her Number – He’s on the comeback trail with his eyes set on the Rebel Stakes (G2) at Oaklawn Park this weekend. Lemon Pop – This Japanese runner turned heads with a solid win in the Cattleya last time out at Tokyo Racecourse. Nova Rags – This claim could be improving after a runner-up effort in the Sam F. Davis Stakes (G3) but will face an acid test in the Louisiana Derby (G2). 7. Paul “Free Beers” Withrow (10/1) Brooklyn Strong – The Remsen Stakes (G2) winner returned to the work tab on February 26 but has a long way to go in a short period of time.Promise Keeper – This recent claim did very little running in the Tampa Bay Derby (G3).Medina Spirit – This horse is tough as nails. He ran well once again, finishing second in the San Felipe Stakes (G2).Triple Tap – American Pharoah’s unraced baby brother by Tapit continues working regularly but may never debut. Prevalence –We’ll see him this Thursday at in a Gulfstream Park allowance. 8. Jared Welch (15/1) Highly Motivated – The Gotham Stakes (G3) was not ideal; however, he does have a right to improve off of his third-place effort. Hot Rod Charlie – His 3-year-old debut was solid, finishing a close third in the Robert B. Lewis Stakes (G3). He’ll run next in the Louisiana Derby (G2).Ghazaaly – He still can’t get the job done, most recently finishing second in a maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park. Donegal Bay – His Withers Stakes (G3) effort was a total disaster. Class Reunion – The filly put up a poor effort last time out in a maiden special weight at Oaklawn Park. 9. Aaron Halterman (20/1) Collaborate – This team caught a big break, winning a five-way shake for this up-and-comer who will start next in the Florida Derby (G1).Jackie’s Warrior – He’s officially cutting back to one-turn races after a poor effort in the Southwest Stakes (G3).Parnelli – He sucks so bad, he was probable for the San Felipe Stakes (G2) but stayed away.Whiskey Double – He earned a nice allowance victory at Oaklawn Park in his last start.Rombauer – He picked up a big win for this team in the El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate. 10. The Magic Mike Show (30/1) Prime Factor – Wow, turns out this highly-hyped first-round pick is just terrible. Easy Time – He switched to turf and nearly won last time out against allowance company. Starrininmydreams – The newest member of the team sucked in the Risen Star Stakes (G2). He’ll try again this weekend in the Rebel Stakes (G2).Regular Guy – Back-to-back seventh-place finishes… not good.
