Kentucky Derby 2016 Top 5 contenders: #4 - GREENPOINTCRUSADER
My current #4 ranked Kentucky Derby 2016 contender is Greenpointcrusader.
Greenpointcrusader won the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park last fall and ended his juvenile season with a wide 7th place finish in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
The son of Bernardini began 2016 with a 2nd place finish behind Kiaran McLaughlin's undefeated colt Mohaymen in the Grade 2 Holy Bull Stakes On Jan 30 and the latter returned to capture the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes.
Greenpointcrusader will make his next start in the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds on Saturday, March 26.
