Overanalyze is a Mike Repole owned, Todd Pletcher trained colt. He's sired by Dixie Union and won two Grade 2 stakes, the Belmont Futurity and Remsen, in his five juvenile starts. If the story stopped there you would probably give him a serious look for the Derby. Unfortunately, it doesn't - he ran a very disappointing 5th in the Gotham Stakes (G3).
Like all of the horses in the lower point brackets, his road to the Kentucky Derby will hinge on his next prep race. How he runs in the Arkansas Derby will determine how serious of a contender he really is, but we're not putting much stock in him.
We can't remember the last time a Kentucky Derby winner finished that poorly in one of his last two prep races. If he had trouble with the Gotham field, things won't get easier, so we're moving on from this one!
