One thing has remained the same since November: Good Magic has remained #1 and Solomini #2 on our charts, as other rankings flapped around in the wind with every stakes winner. Bolt D’Oro has remained in the top 5. McKinzie is off the trail.
.
Good Magic was even #1 after his disappointing 3rd place finish in the Fountain of Youth in March. Now he has proved his 2yo form was no fluke while easily winning the G2 Blue Grass Stakes and regaining the points lead.
.

.
Vino Rosso put up a spectacular win in the Wood G2, passing favorite Enticed like he was standing still, to move into our top 10, and give us enough excellence for a RAN box in the Kentucky Derby, which won last year and usually does not win in consecutive years.
.
The big surprise this year is how well the young Storm Cats are doing, with 8 likely to make the Kentucky Derby field, including 4 Scat Daddy colts. Horses from Storm Cat sireline have never won the Derby, but this year could be another where a curse is broken, like most others have this century.
.
Keep in mind that these are not point rankings, which are on another page. But points are shown in order to see which horses are deficient so far, and where they need to finish in their next prep to get the required points to qualify.
.
This year the cut expected to be 42 minimum as predicted last week, and even then Lone Sailor may not make it if the Japan champion ships. That means Hofburg and Firenze Fire will likely not make the field, even though they’re better than many others that will make it, unless there are multiple withdrawals.
.
Horses in bold have another prep race scheduled before the big one.
