Kentucky Derby Top Twenty...April7th

1.Tapiture..still number one until but this week's Arkansas Derby is big boy time. He needs to bring the fire or slide down the slippery slope.

2.Constitution..I am loving this horse the more I see the derby preps. Castellano maybe sitting on the right one. He will come and get them at Churchill

3.Hoppertunity...The best horse to run second this triple crown season. You know Bob Baffert smiled all the way back to the barn after his effort in Santa Anita Derby. Mike Smith will be glued to this one.

4.California Chrome... The little engine showed up and blew the gasket off the Santa Anita's race track. The entire setup was played to his hand. Love the Art Sherman's stories that will follow.

5.Intense Holiday...Still loving his Risen Star stakes win...nothing has changed my mind...he will be coming in the Derby.

6.Wildcat Red..The time off between races will recharge this one's battery and he will be on fire at Churchill. California Chrome will probably be looking at his backside the entire race...ode to the movie Dreamer

7.Cairo Prince...The only reason he isn't number one is because of his lackluster performance in Florida Derby. He is the best three year old at the beginning of season and still is.

8.Samraat..His defeat in the Wood Memorial was a winner to me. This horse proved me wrong. He has what it takes to compete at the highest level..is he fast enough?

9.General A Rod...He will love the Churchill's surface and maybe in the jockey business a few weeks from now. Rosairo won't be getting of Tapiture anytime soon.

10.Wicked Strong..Strong finish in Wood Memorial...validate Holy Bull..best prep of the derby season..will be running at the end..happy for Maragh..

11.Conquest Titan..lost his jockey..trainer's reason...Borel knows the Oaklawn strip like the back of his hand..will need a strong finish to qualify for derby

12.Strong Mandate...Will the real Strong Mandate please stand up...Go time

13.Social Inclusion...I hope he gets in the derby..this horse is a beast..watch the Wood Memorial again and you will be a convert as well...

14.Bayern...He is a one turn horse..proved me wrong bad boy..put on your big boy pants and Lets GO!

15.Commanding Curve..his third race off the layoff you could be the charm..Broke his maiden at Churchill in a stylish way..he will be coming

16.Vicars In Trouble...Rosie Rosie..enough said..she will give him a chance

17.Ring Weekend..still confused by this one..but the motion to the derby ocean is starting to get deeper..he maybe a no show by the time this is all over

18.Chitu..will setup it up nicely for Hoppertunity...Intense Holiday and Commanding Curve..everyone needs a hype man

19.Candy Boy...I needed a number 19 and his last race was just dull. He got all dressed up for the party and then stayed outside while California Chrome had all the fun

20.Thundergram..you saw it here first..watch out
