Join host PTF alongside broadcaster Michelle Yu, Churchill Downs oddsmaker Nick Tammaro and Fox Sports Chris Fallica as they circle round robin through the field to pick their top choices for the 2026 Kentucky Derby. The field is pretty much set for the First Saturday in May with some noteworthy defections thus far being Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Ted Noffey and Risen Star Stakes winner Paladin. Trainer Brad Cox has the top two runners on the leaderboard with Florida Derby winner Commandment, giving Cox a repeat win in the Florida Derby after his runner Tappan Street bested eventual 2025 Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty, and Blue Grass Stakes winner Further Ado.

City of Light is a four-time G1 winner with tremendous speed and an outstanding physical. He stamped himself as one of the best middle-distance runners in the world with his 5 ¾-length romp in the G1 Pegasus World Cup and his win in G1 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. He's the winner of three graded stakes races in a row: the Malibu S. (G1) in his stakes debut, the Triple Bend S. (G1) and the Oaklawn H. (G2). He has over $5,600,000 in earnings to his name.City of Light is the best son to date of Lane's End's Quality Road, a top ten general sire. City of Light hails from the female family of Grade 1-winning millionaires Cacoethes, Subordination, and Careless Jewel. City of Light made an impact at the sales with multiple seven-figure yearling sales and over 120 six-figure yearling sales across his first three crops to go through the ring.2023 proved to be a breakout year for City of Light's runners. City of Light sired three 2023 TDN Risings, as well as multiple black type winner Mimi Kakushi who was victorious in the G3 UAE Oaks and the UAE 1000 Guineas, multiple stakes winner Eye Witness, and stakes winners Gaslight Dancer, Chop Chop, Sendero, Lights of Broadway, etc. His 2023 runners are highlighted by TDN Rising Star and G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Fierceness. Who registered the highest Beyer for 2YO in 2023, with a 105 for his Breeders' Cup victory which led to him being named Champion 2YO Male. Fierceness's success continues into his three-year-old season with wins in the Florida Derby (G1), Travers S. (G1) and Jim Dandy S. (G2). Other 2024 GSWs include Chop Chop, Mentee, Battle of Normandy and Formidable Man.

Liam's Map is the sire of Grade 1 winners Basin, Hopeful S. (G1) and Arkansas Derby (G1), Colonel Liam, back-to-back editions of thePegasus World Cup Turf (G1) and Turf Classic S. (G1), Wicked Whisper, Frizette S. (G1) and Juju's Map, Alcibiades S. (G1).Not only do these top-level successes rank Liam's Map among the best young sires, it puts him alongside some of America's top stallions in history. Both Basin and Wicked Whisper hail from the first-crop of Liam's Map and since 1983, just eight other first-crop stallions have sired two Grade 1 winners, with only Danzig and Uncle Mo having sired both Grade 1 fillies and colts. An elite group of just five other stallions have sired winners of both the G1 Frizette and the G1 Hopeful—A.P. Indy, Storm Cat, Mr. Prospector, Bold Ruler, and Nasrullah.His success continued in 2024 with MGSWs Roses for Debra, Deterministic and Starting Over. Roses for Debra went on to top the Keeneland November Sale selling for $2,400,000. He saw 40 $150,000+ yearling sales, with a top price of $700,000.An $800,000 Keeneland September yearling, Liam's Map is out of the stakes-winning Trippi mare Miss Macy Sue, and is a half-brother to graded winner Not This Time and black-type winner Taylor S. Liam's Map's pedigree carries only one cross of Northern Dancer in the sixth generation, so his pedigree will be an ideal outcross for mares inbred to Northern Dancer. Since Liam's Map's pedigree largely consists of horses bred by or based on pedigrees of horses bred by John Nerud, it should also be beneficial to emphasize female families associated with Nerud other than Aspidistra.(UPDATED FEB 1, 2025)
