Values:
3 - Revolutionary (10/1) - A deep closer that could threaten late if he finds a hole. This horse fits Borel's style. Don't be surprised to see him coming up the rail to win another Derby.
5 - Normandy Invasion (12/1) - Should stay near the pace to the middle of the pack. A closer that almost chased down Verrazano in the Wood Memorial. Had the race been another furlong as the Derby is, he probably would have won it.
11 - Lines of Battle (30/1) - This horse is a bit of a mystery. I don't have much data to work with for him. Most of his races come from overseas, but he was shipped here for the BC Juvenile at Santa Anita last November running a very unimpressive 8th. However, he won a $2 million stakes race at Dubai in March. This horse could be considered a contender or a throw out. Not entirely sure how I'll play him yet, but horses shipped overseas for races tend not to fare well.
12 - Itsmyluckyday (15/1) - Didn't run a very good Florida Derby. Took the lead at the 1/8th pole but lost it to a driving Orb who passed him with ease. If he's one of the only closers to find a hole, he could steal the race considering his form prior to the Florida Derby.
14 - Verrazano (4/1) - Speed horse that is undefeated. Won the Wood Memorial and the Tampa Derby, but was almost caught at the Wood by both Normandy Invasion and Vyjack. He certainly has the potential to win the Derby, but if he goes to the lead, I don't think he can last. If he sits off the pace a little, he has a good shot.
My top pick:
8 - Goldencents (5/1) - Another speed horse that drew off in an impressive win at the Santa Anita Derby with an up and coming Kevin Krigger on the mount. Todd Pletcher is putting blinkers on Palace Malice which may be the biggest problem for this horse. Palace Malice is another speed horse which will likely be pushing the pace and hopefully Krigger can hold Goldencents from running with him and burning him out.
Good luck.
