    You may not agree with him, but it's a good site - lots of information.

    This is the best out there for the Derby. Excellent for getting an idea of who is out there.

    That said, he has some horses that are not going to the Derby on the list, and he leaves off the 800 pound gorilla in the room. EXOTHERMIC. Horse has not lost, has gone 9f already, and is by Empire Maker (should take to dirt). Not saying he should be top 20 even, but if you go 40 deep you can't not include him, especially if Dullahan is #4 and News Pending is on the list.

    March 9th update - Union Rags hangs on for 1st; Hansen is 3rd - El Padrino sandwiched between the two.

    March 15th update. You don't have to agree. It's just good resource info.

    Like I said before, good list. But Trinniberg. What s he going to the derby off 7f races? He needs to take Triple Crown off his list name or get serious. Guy doesn't even have Enders Knievel on his top 40 but he has a sprinter?

    Glaring issues in the 3/15 report make it hard to like as a "good resource"

    Secret Circle's next start is "UNDECIDED"
    I suggest he check the 9/5 favorite Saturday at Oaklawn.

    Creative Cause "possible next start San Felipe 3/10"
    That's just plain sloppy and obviously incorrect.

    And there's more, kinda crosses himself off my list with that quality of work.

    Why? Like many in the industry, he comes here regularly to read my posts for insight.

    His sheet is very good but even he knows that a sprinter is not running in the TC.

    Insight?
    Oh, I could do a lot with that word.
    But I'll try to stay polite.
