All of these horses are stalkers, and come off the pace, these type horses usually have a good showing in the derby. I like Afleet alot, but his jockey doesn't have much experience and you have to have nerves to ride the derby. I'll probably be completely wrong but those are my choices :D .


Steinbrenner and Bellamy Road come in 4th, I'm guessing he will get suckered into the blistering pace that will be set by the sacrificial lamb, Spanish Chestnut, he will be game but not enough bottom to handle the mile and a quarter. He will have a better shot in the shorter Preakness.
