ZJ's Double Derby Dozen - #5

Finally upcoming this weekend we will get into some stake action for the three year olds. The Sham stakes is being run at Santa Anita and drew a nice field including Anthony's Cross, Tapizar and Uncle Sam. I expect some movement in next weeks DDD #6 already.

I had some movement this week as well with Little Al taking JB's Thunder 'off the trail' after an unimpressive dirt workout. His future will be on Polytracks or grass. Taking his spot on the list making his debut at #24 is Comma to the Top - the 'leader' of the West coast contenders. I did have three other colts move up on list and one drop towards the bottom. So here we go -
