5. Exaggerator

Derby Points/Rank: 16 points – 5th

Race Record: (7) 3-2-0

Earnings: $1,023,120

Breeding: Curlin – Dawn Raid

Owner: Big Chief Racing, LLC

Trainer: Keith Desormeaux

Last Race: Santa Anita: Grade 2 San Vicente Stakes on 2/15/16, Finished 2nd

Analysis: He ran a very good comeback race in the San Vicente, but was just defeated by a better horse in Nyquist.  Lucky for him though…when the distances get longer Exaggerator might be able to start closing the gap a bit on Nyquist.  Either way, Monday served as a nice foundation builder for the future as he should be a very serious contender.
