Fantasy Horse Racing Racing Dudes Fantasy Update: Triple Crown Season Up Next April 17, 2018 Fantasy Horse Racing Racing Dudes Fantasy Update: Triple Crown Season Up Next April 17, 2018 By: Aaron Halterman twitterfacebooklinkedinemail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article The Kentucky Derby prep season has come to an end and the cream has risen to the top. Team Magic holds a solid lead with three prime Derby contenders as we head into the three most important races of the year. You can’t forget about Team Slim and Welch, though, as both have solid chances to catch Magic right at the wire. Let’s take a look at the Current Standings and the outlook of each team as we head into the Triple Crown season: Current Standings Ranking Team Score Current Team Members 1Jared Welch 1,390Solomini, Greyvitos, Justify, Sporting Chance, New York Central 2Curtis "Magic" Kalleward 270Good Magic, Mendelssohn, Marconi, My Boy Jack, Magnum Moon 3Aaron Halterman 256Principe Guilherme, Instilled Regard, Noble Indy, Bravazo, Combatant 4Mike "Saratoga Slim" Spector 175Bolt d’Oro, Audible, Hofburg, Restoring Hope, Navistar 5Ryan Stillman/Jon White 146Mask, Flameaway, Untamed Domain, Enticed, Quip 6Dan "The Fan Man" Waite 31Catholic Boy, Nero, Lone Sailor, Vino Rosso, Free Drop Billy Power Rankings 1. Curtis “Magic” Kalleward: Horses in the Derby: Good Magic, Mendelssohn, and Magnum Moon Non-Derby Starters That Could Still Run in Triple Crown Races: Marconi Horses That Are Out: Curlin’s Honor Bottom Line: This is the team to beat as the first Saturday in May draws near. Good Magic, Mendelssohn, and Magnum Moon are all prime candidates to win the Kentucky Derby. 2. Mike “Saratoga Slim” Spector: Horses in the Derby: Audible and Bolt d’Oro Non-Derby Starters That Could Still Run in Triple Crown Races: Restoring Hope Horses That Are Out: Avery Island and Navistar Bottom Line: Bolt d’Oro and Audible give him a solid 1-2 punch in the Kentucky Derby. If they can outrun Magic’s big three, then this team could make a serious run at the top spot. 3. Jared Welch: Horses in the Derby: Justify and Solomini Non-Derby Starters That Could Still Run in Triple Crown Races: Sporting Chance and Greyvitos Horses That Are Out: New York Central Bottom Line: It all hinges on Justify. If the big horse wins two of the three Triple Crown races, then this team will likely win, though it still wouldn’t be a lock even with he did. Outside of Justify, the rest of this team has disappointed. 4. Jon White/Ryan Stillman: Horses in the Derby: Enticed, Flameaway, and Free Drop Billy Non-Derby Starters That Could Still Run in Triple Crown Races: None Horses That Are Out: Untamed Domain and McKinzie Bottom Line: McKinzie’s injury ruined their chances of winning. Not only do they have to hope that one of their three Kentucky Derby longshots can hit the board, but they also have to hope that they can impact the Preakness and the Belmont, too. 5. Aaron Halterman: Horses in the Derby: Noble Indy and Bravazo Non-Derby Starters That Could Still Run in Triple Crown Races: Combatant and Instilled Regard Horses That Are Out: Principe Guilherme Bottom Line: A star horse never developed for this team that will be a long shot to win despite leading the contest in points for most of the year. 6. Dan “The Fan Man” Waite: Horses in the Derby: Vino Rosso Non-Derby Starters That Could Still Run in Triple Crown Races: None Horses That Are Out: Nero, Catholic Boy, Storm Runner, and Gold Town Bottom Line: This team needs a miracle. Dan “The Fan Man” will be busy during the claiming period and needs some solid success to keep from finishing last.
