Last Race: Maiden Special Weight at Tampa Bay Downs, Finished 1st
Analysis: I must be crazy for ranking ANOTHER Pletcher maiden winner on this list…a maiden winner at Tampa Bay no less! However, he’s been able to use Tampa Bay as a path to the Kentucky Derby before with Outwork being the most recent example. This horse showed major talent when winning last time out, which was also his first race for Pletcher. I’m intrigued…
