10. Colonel John


Record: 6-4-2-0
-
When you lay everything out, past performances, pedigree, and post position, this guy probably has the best shot at this race. His Santa Anita was incredible--his closing kick was most impressive. He hasn't run on dirt, but his pedigree actually says he should be better on dirt than he is on synthetic, which is a very frightening thought. I'm not going to lie, I still resent him a little for knocking El Gato Malo off the trail, but I'm starting to like him more. He's an awesome horse, and he has a very, very good shot here. His pattern looks like this: 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1... It looks like it's time for a second. PS, I'm not that big on the patterns, I'm just throwing them out there.
