Racing Dudes Top 20 Kentucky Derby Rankings #9

6. J Boys Echo

Derby Points/Rank: 53 – 4th

Race Record: (5) 2-1-1

Earnings: $299,600

Breeding: Mineshaft – Letgomyecho

Owner: Albaugh Family Stable

Trainer: Dale Romans

Last Race: Grade 3 Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct, Finished 1st

Analysis: Showing a big-time speed burst around the Aqueduct turn in the Gotham, this horse became a major player on the Kentucky Derby Trail with a resounding victory over Cloud Computing and the heavily-favored El Areeb.  Once again, I’ll say that we need to be patient with the horses running in New York right now because the competition that they’re around isn’t the strongest, but this horse ran a speed number that should be recognized.  He could be legit.
