Madison's Derby List | Retama Ruffian

1. Texas Red

• Had a dominating Breeders' Cup Juvenile
• May have been a fluke BUT he did follow it up with a 2nd in the San Vicente Stakes (gr. II)
• Liked him since his maiden
• Found him by his name and he was originally my "dark horse" Derby pick

2. Frosted

• He's come second in both the Remsen and the Holy Bull
• he just needs his "breakthrough race"

3. American Pharoah

• You really can't ignore a horse who won two back-to-back grade one stakes in the same month as a two-year old

4. Mr. Z

• He just needs a breakthrough race and, possibly, a two month break
• His record is as followed:
• 2nd- Sanford Stakes (gr. III)
• 2nd- Toyota Saratoga Special Stakes (gr. II)
• 5th- Iroquois Stakes (gr. III)
• 2nd- Claiborne Breeders' Futurity (gr. I)
• 5th- Sentient Jet Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I)
• 2nd- Delta Downs Jackpot Stakes (gr. III)
• 3rd- Lost Alamitos Futurity (gr. I)
• 3rd- Smarty Jones Stakes (black-type)

Mr. Z is in the blue cap

Side note: Each week I will add another slot to the list until I get to twelve horses.
