We Miss Artie is an Artie Schiller and Athena's Gift colt who won the G1 Breeders' Futurity in October of last year. He finished 8th in the G2 Fountain of Youth, but was able to collect enough points to qualify for the Kentucky Derby with a win in the G3 Spiral Stakes.

Todd Pletcher is still not 100% certain he'll run in the Derby and it's not hard to see why. We Miss Artie has never won a race on dirt. There's many good things about this young colt, but nothing that says he's worth paying attention to on the first Saturday in May.
