Looking forward to seeing this race today.
Heard about #2 Mentor Cane sometime back, and he should run big.
#9 Flashback is supposed to be pretty special, too, and a few others in the race have potential.
With the new points system for the KY Derby this year, chances are we have yet to see the 2013 winner - the big points races are well down the road.
I'm thinking that at least a couple from this maiden race may be stars of the future. My opinions are based on the work of sharp young clocker Donald Harris.
Here are his thoughts on the race in writing:

I'm excited to watch this race also. Shirreffs isn't known for firing 1st time out but if this guy has any carryover from what he has shown in the morning he should at least have a quality race. The only knock is that he has been leaning in while running on the wrong lead during some of his works.
