Here we go:1. Kelby/Evil Steveil (6/5) Fierceness – The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) winner totally rebounded from his Holy Bull Stakes (G3) flop to absolutely crush the Florida Derby (G1). Catching Freedom – He picked up a huge win for this team in the Louisiana Derby (G2). Hall of Fame – He seems to be overrated, as he did very little running in the Louisiana Derby (G2). Snead – This horse was a solid second in the Gun Runner Stakes at Fair Grounds but has trouble staying on the work tab. Just Steel – He rebounded from a poor effort in the Rebel Stakes (G2) to finish second in the Arkansas Derby (G1). 2. Actual Double Ds (Paul “Free Bears” Withrow) (7/2) Knightsbridge – This solid debut winner was equally impressive against Gulfstream Park allowance horses. Stakes company should be next. Track Phantom – He was a disappointing fourth in the Louisiana Derby (G2). Forever Young – He showed heart to narrowly win the Saudi Derby (G3) and then repeated next out in the UAE Derby (G2). Endlessly – The newest member of the team destroyed the field in the Jeff Ruby Steaks (G3) and may try dirt for the first time in the Kentucky Derby (G1). Otello – He was a total no-show in the Jeff Ruby Steaks (G3). 3. Geist (4/1) Muth – The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) runner-up kicked off his 2024 season winning the San Vicente Stakes (G2). We’ll see him again this weekend in the Arkansas Derby (G1). Air of Defiance – This horse was a solid maiden winner but has not worked since November 3. Stronghold – He picked up a massive win for this team in the Santa Anita Derby (G1). Dimatic – The newest member of this team didn’t make an impact in the Rebel Stakes (G2) and repeated that same effort in the Arkansas Derby (G1). Mystik Dan – He was a runaway winner of the Southwest Stakes (G3) and finished a decent third in the Arkansas Derby (G1). 4. Dan Waite and Michael Ossen (9/2) Sierra Leone – He picked up a huge win for this team in the Blue Grass Stakes (G1). Book’em Danno – He ran huge in the Saudi Derby (G3) to finish second behind Forever Young. Bergen – The newest member of the team did no running in the Gotham Stakes (G3). Rocketeer – We’ll finally see him Wednesday in a Keeneland allowance race. Maymun – He did not enter the Santa Anita Derby (G1)… not good. 5. Vinny Blond (8/1)Domestic Product – The newest member of the team narrowly won the Tampa Bay Derby (G3). Dornoch – He was a major disappointment in the Blue Grass Stakes (G1). Just a Touch – He ran a solid second in the in the Blue Grass Stakes (G1). Scatify – He could not win an allowance at Keeneland when sprinting. Resilience – The newest member of the team romped in the Wood Memorial Stakes (G2). 6. Jared Welch (12/1)Conquest Warrior – He was a complete disappointment in the Florida Derby (G1), finishing fourth. Coach Prime – He was a disappointing third last time out in the Los Alamitos Futurity (G2). Timberlake – He couldn’t back up his Rebel Stakes (G2) victory in the Arkansas Derby (G1), fading to fourth. Imagination – He was right there with a chance but couldn’t win the Santa Anita Derby (G1). Mindframe – The newest member of the team dazzled with a 103 Beyer on debut. 7. The Magic Mike Show (30/1) Parchment Party – He’s out until at least the spring with a minor issue. Honor Marie – He rebounded to run a solid second in the Louisiana Derby (G2). Encino – The newest member of the team looked sharp winning the John Battaglia Memorial Stakes at Turfway Park. He’ll try dirt for the first time in the Lexington Stakes (G3). Tuscan Gold – The newest member of the team might be heading to the Preakness Stakes (G1) next after a third-place effort in the Louisiana Derby (G2). First World War – He did very little running in a recent turf race at Keeneland. 8. Shotty and Davey (50/1) Common Defense – The newest member of the team did ok in the Louisiana Derby (G2) but couldn’t hit the board. Liberal Arts – He was a decent third in the Southwest Stakes (G3) but was nowhere to be found in the Arkansas Derby (G1). We’ll see him his weekend in the Lexington Stakes (G3). Otto the Conqueror – He sucks. Deterministic – Yikes, perhaps the last hope for this team did nothing in the Wood Memorial Stakes (G2). Real Men Violin – He also sucks.9. Jon White and Ryan Stillman (50/1) Nash – He WON a race! Taking the Hot Springs Stakes gave this team an all-important 5 points. Tuscan Sky – He did little running in the Wood Memorial Stakes (G2). Hades – The newest member on the team was an upset winner of the Holy Bull Stakes (G3) but was a disappointing fifth in the Florida Derby (G1). We’ll see him again this weekend in the Lexington Stakes (G3). Victory Avenue – He’s off the trail after struggling to stay healthy. Born Noble – No works since March 1 means this horse probably has some issues. 10. Double Ds (Doc Tang and Doc Miranda) (50/1) Nysos – The Robert B. Lewis Stakes (G3) winner scratched out of the San Felipe Stakes (G2) and is now out of training for at least 30 days, missing the Triple Crown trail. The Wine Steward – The Breeders’ Futurity (G1) runner-up is working toward making his 2024 debut this weekend in the Lexington Stakes (G3). Carbone – He was recently second in the Hot Springs Stakes. Moonlight – He was nowhere to be found in the Risen Star Stakes (G2). Amante Bianco – He could do no better than second in a recent race in Japan. 11. Aaron Halterman (69/1) Speak Easy – LOL… Merit – LOL… Antiquarian – He broke through the gate in the Louisiana Derby (G2) before running sixth. And yet he’s easily the best horse on this team. Wynstock – LOL… Who Dey – He did ok to run second… in the Lafayette Stakes.
