    OVERVIEW: This year’s crop of three year olds isn’t very good. Their race times are slow and none of the horses show the type of brilliance we got last year from Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. Nyqvist is unbeaten and last year’s two year old champion but he gets no respect and I’m one of the dis-respecters. Still, somebody has to win. Many believe the wide open and mediocre field points to a big longshot winning. There’s a case to be made for that. I’ve narrowed my top contenders down to six with two of them at the top. In a 20-horse field many horses will have bad racing luck and luck is critical in this race, especially if you’re betting it. Consider the following opinions as just that—-opinions. In the end, as in most things in life, you’re on your own. THE FIELD (in post position order): #1 TROJAN NATION - He has never won a race and he has an impossible post position.

But the post position is really bad. He’ll have to be much the best to make a dent. He is a possibility to get a minor piece. #3 CREATOR - Yet another closer hampered by an inside post position. This one did win the Arkansas Derby and is rapidly improving and with a trainer just voted into the Hall of Fame.
