We waded through all of the Derby prep races and now it is time for the big dance, The Kentucky Derby.
Churchill Downs Race 11 {Kentucky Derby 140~G1~1 1/4 miles~3 year old~Stakes}
A fabulous field of nineteen will go to the gates for the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby, the most prestigious race in America. Boy, howdy, is there speed and forwardly placed types in this edition of the race. All have not yet ventured out at this distance. Nearly all have raced well in their prep races. Most have run diligently in their works. They all appear ready to run the greatest two minutes in all of sports.
#20 Wicked Strong (Maragh / Jerkens) will have a legitimate pace to run into with his nice tracking/closing running style. He holds the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four stamina enriching, peaking workouts. Winner of the Wood Memorial. This son of Hard Spun appears ready to make a victorious run of KD 140.
$2 WIN / $3 PLACE / $4 SHOW.
#5 California Chrome (V. Espinoza / Sherman) will not give up easily and is clearly the horse to beat. He holds the highest last out speed number and has put in two strong workouts. This son of Lucky Pulpit will join the front running group and should dispatch them efficiently. He had a smashing victory in the Santa Anita Derby. With four wins in a row he will need to dig deep to hold off those seeking to catch him in the stretch.
$2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#6 Samraat (J. Ortiz / Violette) should challenge with his versatile running style. The handsome son of Noble Causeway holds the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and two endurance producing workouts. This guy finished second in the Wood Memorial.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#10 Wildcat Red (Saez / Garoffalo) should be in the hunt sharing the fourth highest last out speed number and two hearty workouts. A son of D'Wildcat, is 100% in the money from seven starts. This lad was second in the Florida Derby. He should be one of the forwardly placed types moving on through the stretch.
#15 Tapiture (Santana / Asmussen) could be in the mix with a couple of very good last out speed numbers and three credible peaking workouts. This son of Tapit is on the cusp of another improvement while tracking the pace closely. He holds the highest speed number over the Churchill track. In his last, he placed fourth in the Arkansas Derby.
Superfecta
For the purposes of the Kentucky Derby, the Superfecta is one USD.
#20 Wicked Strong / #5 California Chrome / #6 Samraat / #10 Wildcat Red, #15 Tapiture.

On to Kentucky
On this fantastic Friday, the day before the best Saturday of the year, we take a look at the fillies under warm sunny skies.
Churchill Downs Race 11 {Kentucky Oaks~G1~1 1/8 mile~3 year old~fillies~Stakes}
A tremendously talented group of thirteen will go to the gate in this graded stakes race. There is plenty of speed to keep the pace burning. Only two have gone the distance prior to this race. All have put together creditable work tabs and appear ready for the race. It should be a very high quality race.
#13 Untapable (Napravnik / Asmussen) will probably go off the favorite with the highest last out speed number (the only triple digit among the group), a four race progression, and three strong peaking workouts. This daughter of Tapit has secured two victories at Churchill from two starts. She should be close to the pace ready to launch into the stretch.
$2 WIN / $3 SHOW.
#11 My Miss Sophia (Castellano / Pletcher) should challenge from the front end with second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two diligent workouts. A daughter of Unbridled's Song, this filly is 100% in the money from three starts.
$2 SHOW.
#3 Sugar Shock (Borel / Anderson) is on a roll with four straight victories. A daughter of Candy Ride [ARG], she holds the third highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and one sound workout. This gal should be forwardly placed and with the "Prince of Churchill" in the irons, should get a superb trip.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#12 Got Lucky (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) should be in contention with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and two robust workouts. She is one of those that have gone this distance twice and has been in the money both times. This daughter of A.P. Indy is one of two in the race nominated to the Triple Crown.
#9 Unbridled Forever (Albarado / Stewart) should be in the hunt with a couple of good last out speed numbers and three stout workouts. She holds the highest speed number over the Churchill course. Another Unbridled's Song daughter, she should be forwardly placed.
10 CENT Superfecta

Gulfstream Superfecta Sunday
We book into Superfecta Sunday as the excitement builds for KD 140. Today we look at a speedy Turf sprint down in South Florida.
Gulfstream Park Race 8 {Safari Queen Stakes~5 furlongs~TURF~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A robust field of nine will take to the green in this afternoon feature. There is plenty of speed which should make the race speedy. The field is closely comparable in terms of speed numbers and most have gone this short distance. It should be a very good race. Our task is to cobble together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#3 Madam Giry (Castro / Gambolati) has the edge as she comes of a freshening. She holds the highest last out speed number and has put in two solid works. She also holds the highest speed number at the distance having raced it eleven times securing a 72% in the money record. The pace should benefit her running style.
#1 Angel's South (Chamafi / Iadisernia) should challenge as she comes off a Turf mile in her last which puts her with the third highest (tie) last out speed number. She has put in two serious peaking workouts prepping for this one. This gal should be forwardly placed ready to pounce.
#4 Coursegold (Bravo / Hennig) should contend with an o.k. last out speed number at a longer sprint and three top-notch peaking workouts. She should also benefit from a fast pace. In addition to loving the Gulfstream Turf course having hit the board in all five of her starts on it, she loves the surface in general with an 84% in the money record from thirteen starts. She is our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$1 SHOW.
#8 What a Party (Saez / Plesa) may be the leader in this soiree. She holds the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and one sound workout. She has done very well at this distance with an 80% in the money record from five starts. This gal could wire the field.

Superfecta Sunday Allowance
Yesterday was a fantastic day of racing. We witnessed three great KD 140 preps that earned a pile of Derby points for the winners. Perhaps the most impressive was Toast of New York winning the UAE Derby at Meydan (Dubai, UAE). Hopefully his connections will send him to Kentucky on that first Saturday in May. Vicar's In Trouble won the Louisiana Derby and Constitution won a thrilling running of the Florida Derby. Both of these lads will be forces to reckon with in the greatest two minutes in all of sports.
Today we take a look at a nice Allowance race in New York.
Aqueduct Race 8 {1 mile~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~NY~Allowance}
A good crop of seven gals will go to the gate in this allowance feature. They are equally comparable in terms of speed numbers. There is enough speed in here for a quick pace. We will attempt to cobble a winning 10 CENT Superfecta ticket utilizing all of the participants.
#6 Familyofroses (Maragh / Falcone) appears likely to notch a victory with the third highest last out speed number from a longer route and a five race progression. She should be able to track the pace and let it rip in the stretch. She does seem to enjoy the Aqueduct course.
#5 Great Oracle Dane (Franco / Asmussen) is the veteran racer of the bunch who should be able to challenge with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and two proficient workouts. She does show a 70% in the money record at this distance. This gal is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$1 SHOW.
Other Racing Interests
#1 Broadway Music Gal (T. Rice / Englehart) should challenge with the highest last out speed number at a longer route and a three race progression. She has gone this distance over the Turf producing a decent speed figure. A very close tracking style should produce a good result.
#7 Hundred Acre Wood (Esquivel / Sciacca) should be able to dictate the speed terms as the front runner. She holds the second highest last out speed number at longer route and a two race progression.
The Balance of the Field
#2 Physical Delivery (Husbands / Baker) could figure prominently based on Jockey / Trainer combination strike rate. She is with striking distance of the others speed figs for the distance. #3 Typhoon Teri (Mejias / Hertler) is also within striking distance of the others distance speed figures. She should be pressing the pace. #4 She's Stones Sis (J. Ortiz / Levine) could figure prominently while being forwardly placed. This gal has a good in the money record of 58% from twelve starts.

Sunland Superfecta Sunday
We look toward old New Mexico for a Superfecta Sunday treat.
Sunland Park Race 11 {Sunland Park Derby~G3~1 1/8 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A strong field of nine will make their way to the gate in this KD 140 prep race. There is a ton of speed in here that will insure that the pace will be very quick. Only three have gone this distance. The rest of the field will be stretching out. It should be a very interesting race for which we must try to cobble together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#3 Commissioner (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) looks like he might be able to take advantage of a very swift pace with the third highest last out speed number and two athletic workouts. He could take up a tracking effort close to the pace and muscle his way through. This guy has secured two victories at this distance already. He is our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.
#7 Midnight Hawk (Smith / Baffert) should be the favorite with the second highest speed number, a two race progression, and three superb workouts. He has a bit of versatility to his running style which may help him in this speedster affair.
#4 Global Strike (Castellano / Pletcher) is another that has earned money at this distance. He holds a couple of decent last out speed numbers and has put in two hearty workouts. Expect him to be forwardly placed.
#8 Rebranded (Eikleberry / Evans) has already gone this distance. He holds a couple of o.k. last out speed numbers, a five race progression, and two sensational workouts. One of two that has run over the Sunland dirt, he hopes to please the hometown crowd with a tracking effort.

A Stakes Saturday Spiral
Spring time emerges with a focused view on the Turfway poly as we take in another Derby prep in Kentucky.
Turfway Park Race 11 {Spiral Stakes~G3~1 1/8 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A grand group of twelve will face each other in this annual Derby prep on the polytrack.
There is enough speed in here to present an honest pace. The closers among the group should worry that the front running types may swipe this one from them. Only three have gone this distance before, but all have trained vigorously in anticipation of the stretch out. No matter the race at glorious Turfway, there is always a surprise. It should be a great race.
#4 Tamarando (R. Baze / Hollendorfer) should be the favorite with the highest last out speed number going this distance, a three race progression, and four endurance producing workouts. This son of Bertrando is a synthetic specialist and should relish the Turfway poly. He has a career 90% in the money record from ten starts. Definitely the one to beat.
$2 WIN / $3 SHOW.
#2 Asserting Bear (Rocco / Baker) is another who has gone this distance stroking a victory. He holds a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a two race progression, and three strong peaking workouts. He could be the surprise in this race as he tracks the pace closely. One of many quality runners representing the progeny of Bear's Kid.
$2 SHOW.
#11 We Miss Artie (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) will challenge with a couple of nice last out speed numbers and one solid workout. The son of Artie Schiller, he should be forwardly placed ready to strike heading into the stretch. This lad has prepped over synthetic and turf.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#5 Coastline (Elliott / Casse) is one to watch as he continues to improve. The son of Speightstown holds the fourth highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two extremely good workouts. He could find himself close to the pace and then swoop into battle going into the stretch.
#8 Solitary Ranger (Geroux / Catalano) should be in the mix as one of the front runners with the second highest last out sped number, a three race progression, and two superb workouts. This son of US Ranger has the potential to wire this field if left loose on the lead.
#9 Almost Famous (Borel / Byrne) could be the big surprise as a son of Unbridled's Song, of whose progeny love the journey over synthetic surfaces. He holds a solid speed number two starts back and has put in two hearty peaking workouts. This guy can be expected to be part of the speed on the front end.

Stakes Saturday Gotham City Style
We celebrate Stakes Saturday with a look towards Gotham City.
Aqueduct Race 9 {Gotham~G3~1 1/16 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A great group of eleven are on the roster for this annual Kentucky Derby prep. The winner will capture 50 points towards entry into the KD 140 field. There is plenty of speed types in this one and if they hook up in the early furlongs of the race, it could set-up nicely for a skilled presser, tracker or closer. Judging by the works all of these lads have put in, they are ready for battle.
#10 Harpoon (I. Ortiz / Pletcher) might have the right set-up to gain the win with the third highest last out speed number and three sensational peaking workouts. This son of Tapit is 100% in the money from five starts. He should track the pace ready to launch into the stretch.
$1 WIN / $2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#8 Extrasexyhippzster (Pimental / Trombetta) should challenge with a pressing attack. This guy holds the second highest (tie) last out speed number and three strong peaking workouts. He is a son of Stroll who is coming into this with a brief freshening.
$1 PLACE / $2 SHOW.
#2 In Trouble (Rocco / A. Dutrow) should contend with the highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and three solid workouts. This son of Tiz Wonderful should hang close to the pace with a pressing style. He is coming off a lengthy layoff, but has won twice in two starts.

Aqueduct Race 9 {Gotham~G3~1 1/16 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A great group of eleven are on the roster for this annual Kentucky Derby prep. The winner will capture 50 points towards entry into the KD 140 field. There is plenty of speed types in this one and if they hook up in the early furlongs of the race, it could set-up nicely for a skilled presser, tracker or closer. Judging by the works all of these lads have put in, they are ready for battle.
#10 Harpoon (I. Ortiz / Pletcher) might have the right set-up to gain the win with the third highest last out speed number and three sensational peaking workouts. This son of Tapit is 100% in the money from five starts. He should track the pace ready to launch into the stretch.
$1 WIN / $2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#8 Extrasexyhippzster (Pimental / Trombetta) should challenge with a pressing attack. This guy holds the second highest (tie) last out speed number and three strong peaking workouts. He is a son of Stroll who is coming into this with a brief freshening.

Superfecta Sunday at Santa Anita
We once again look to mighty Santa Anita Park to try to put together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta ticket.
Santa Anita Park Race 5 {San Vicente~G2~7 furlongs~3 year old~Stakes}
A small field of six will dazzle in this annual graded stakes sprint. There is enough speed to keep the pace honest. All in here have put together a solid workout tab. Consequently, everyone of these boys could find their way to the winners circle. Our task is to string together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta ticket.
#2 Rprettyboyfloyd (Bejarano / Brewer) is still a maiden, but has the best shot at a gallant improvement. He holds the third highest last out speed number and one solid workout. Despite having not won in his two career races, he has been in the money both times.
#6 Kobe's Back (Rosario / Sadler) will tackling dirt for the first time, but his pedigree suggests that he will like it. He holds the second highest speed number at this distance and has put in four spectacular works prepping for this one. This lad could be closing swiftly into a solid pace.

He has a versatile running style which will benefit him in this race. He is also 100% in the money over the Santa Anita track in three starts. He is our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.
#5 Cherubim (Smith / Callaghan) will be stretching out to this longer sprint having secured the highest last out speed number among this crew. He has put in four excellent workouts. This guy should be very close to the pace seeking to get first jump on the field going into the stretch.
Other Wagering Interests
#4 Roger Rocket (Nakatani / Baffert) will be making his second start having won at first asking. He has put in three strong peaking workouts and should take up a tracking position.
This guy posted a decent speed number in that first effort.

10 CENT Superfecta ($2.40)
