Ray Kerrison's piece from the New York Post:
LOUISVILLE -- In the past 24 hours, Saturday's
Kentucky Derby has gone from a one-horse victory parade to a 20-horse scramble that has even top trainers scratching their heads.
The disappearance of hot favorite Eskendereya, the sudden entry of the exciting filly Devil May Care, the scratching of Rule, the likely non-appearance of Interactif, the entry of Jackson Bend and possibly others have combined to turn the famous old classic into a betting lottery.
No one summed it up better than trainer Bob Baffert: "There's no standout in this race," he told the media multitudes at the track yesterday after his colt, Lookin at Lucky, the new likely favorite, completed his final workout.
"My horse should not be favorite. Sidney's Candy beat me by nearly five lengths in the Santa Anita Derby. He should be the favorite.
"This Derby is close. I'm not here thinking I've got everyone over a barrel. Whoever gets the luck in running will win. This race is just so hard to win. There are about 10 horses in the field that could be this year's
Mine That Bird [last year's 50-1 upset winner]."
