Man, I always like to remain positive, but after the big preps of the Florida Derby, Louisiana Derby, Wood Memorial, Blue Grass, and Santa Anita Derby you really have wonder if a single horse can go 10 furlongs, much less even 9.
This was a tough weekend to watch for Kentucky Derby hopefuls in which nobody showed a single ounce of anything when the real racing began. The winners simply didn't get passed in long and tiring stretch runs.
I thought this was a pretty good crop. And still could be, but at this point in time, it will be anybody's game come May 6th.
But looking on the positive side, it should be a live and lovely board for the Derby. Favorite should be 10/1. And an underlay.
