Analysis:
Absolutely adore the way he finished in the Breeders Cup over a surface that he was unfamiliar with. He showed a lot of professionalism that day that was not expected for horse who had never won a race before. He's been working forwardly since the Juvenile and looks like he's really filled out is coming into the Fountain Of Youth firing on all cylinders.

Into Mischief- Blue Devil Bel by Gilded Time

Earnings: $287,720
Derby Points: 10
Analysis:
The way he finished in the Holy Bull had me super impressed. He looks like a horse that's screaming for longer distances many knock his pedigree as not hinting at wanting distance but horses bred on the same cross have an average winning distance of 7.45 furlongs which is right on par with a lot of the top contenders. I can ignore pedigree if visually he looks like he wants to go longer and he definitely passes the eye test. I normally don't like Pletcher's horses this early but this is one that was to good to ignore.

Derby Points: 14
Analysis:
This is definitely a horse that was made for two turns, my only worry is that he's missed training time due to a pulled muscle and setbacks this early are never a good sign. He is back working regularly pointing for a return in the San Felipe Stakes. His first couple works back were not visually stimulating but his last couple works have been a major improvement. He doesn't need to win his return, but he does need to show that he is at least close to his old self.
4. Vino Rosso
Curlin- Mythical Bride by Street Cry

Owner: Repole Stable & St. Elias Stable
Career Stats:

Earnings: $68,000
Derby Points: 2
Analysis:
His Inexperience hurt him in the Sam F. Davis, but the light bulb seemed to turn on past the wire because he galloped out like a steam engine as he rolled past both Flameaway and Catholic Boy. He seemed to run in spots in the Sam Davis so I'm thinking he'll be a candidate for blinkers next out. He'll keep improving as the distances get longer and as he gets more experience which makes him very dangerous moving forward.

Earnings: $270,000
Derby Points: 20
Analysis:
Hard to knock an undefeated horse especially one trained by Bob Baffert, but that being said this horse is a little quirky when he gets into the stretch. He needs to figure out how to stay in a straight line before I move him up any higher. I do actually wonder about this one's ability to go long as horses bred on the same cross have an average winning distance of 6.82 Furlongs. He does seem to be able to finish off his races well so maybe there isn't enough cause for concern.

Scat Daddy- Leslie's Lady by Tricky Creek

Analysis:
I was hoping this colt would have run the Juvenile Dirt race but instead Aidan decided to run him in the turf race which paid off as he won very impressively. He's a half to Beholder and we all know how special she was on dirt. Looks like he'll probably point to the UAE Derby which may actually be a tough spot for him as Gold Town looks like an absolute freak. I have no doubts he'll handle the distance and I also have no doubt he'll handle the dirt just a matter of time till we find out how good he really is.
Knocking on the door
Marconi- Royally bred but worry he's not fast enough to keep up with these. He is one I wouldn't leave off any Belmont tickets but the Derby might be a big ask for this colt.
Mourinho- Worry he won't be able to get the distance but if he runs a big race in the Southwest don't be surprised if I move him up.
Flameaway- Very game and tenacious racehorse hasn't lost this year and could be very tough moving forward.
