Hello Chuck, others:

Tough year, you could make a case for 8-10 of them. My ratings:

Brother Derek #18
Barbaro #8
Sinister Minister #4 (good roughie)
Point Determined #5
Bob and John #7
Private Vow #12 (my #1 roughie)
SweetNorthernsaint #11
Sharp Humor #9
BluegrassCat #13

I don't care much for the rest, but this is a very difficult race to handicap. Favorites usually do not win. An excellent chance to get double digit odds on some really good young horses. Last year's winner was nearly 50-1, I recall.

If you can get a bet down on a U.S. race, good luck.

Regards,

Glenn
