Current Standings
Triple Crown Fantasy Standings
Top Contenders:
@derbyologist – First round draft pick and #2 overall – Upstart won the Holy Bull, and finished 2nd in the Florida Derby and Fountain of Youth after being disqualified. Sixth round draft choice I’m a Chatterbox won two stakes races in Louisiana.
@shapperdacapper – Riding the big two of Dortmund and Firing Line. Dortmund won the Lewis Stakes and Firing Line went to Sunland for the big score. Claiming budget is loaded and needs to find the key claim.
@chare889 – Consistent points from Mr. Z and El Kabeir. Key claim Stellar Wind has picked up 18 points. Forever Unbridled is still possible for the Oaks. Pangburn may be pointing to the turf.
@sittingbilly – International Star and Stanford are the big horses heading to the derby. Strong claiming game has made up for draft that was unproductive.
@mervontherail – American Pharoah and Condo Commando are the top 2 points earners and heads into the Derby and Oaks with a top 4 favorite in each division. Claim of Frosted was a 10 points swing in the Wood Memorial.
@insidethenumbers – is looking to Seize the Day with Carpe Diem, Peace and War and Madefromlucky add depth the Oaks/Derby weekend.
@sdsuemk – is pinning his hopes on Far Right, Promise Me Silver and Materiality. Still in the hunt but has less claiming dollars available.
