Larry Zap's Top Ten Kentucky Derby List
1 The Pamplemousse
Have to believe in this freak of nature.
2 Friesan Fire
Owns the Fairgrounds and will appreciate Derby
distance.
3 Pioneer of the Nile
Improving colt is probably the horse with the most
upside.
4 I Want Revenge
Showed how strong the Californians are...loved him
since day one.
5 Dunkirk
Lite on experience, but heavy on talent...mommy won
the KY Oaks
6 Rachael Alexander
Filly has run as fast as any of the boys around two
turns...reminds me of Eight Belles.
7 Papa Clem
Ran well at Fairgrounds considering shipping and the
slop...this guy will love the Derby distance.
8 Quality Road
His win in the Fountain of Youth was terrific...
distance is a question.
9 Mr. Hot Stuff
On the improve...his Sham was BTL and he came out
of it awesome...surprise package.
10 Giant Oak
Illinois bred can really run...needs a little luck...
I still believe he has the quality.
