I can't believe anyone pointing to the SA Derby or AK derby didn't think twice about shipping here for this spot. Even Anthony's Cross (didn't Harty win it last year with the legendary American Lion)?

Which race, the Illinois Derby, Santa Anita Derby or Wood, has most recently seen it's winner come back to win the Ky Derby?
It's 5 weeks out from the Derby. The last two years, the consensus favorite didn't make the gate.
And horses can come from anywhere and get real good real fast. If it weren't for Rachel A, Dunkirk and Summer Bird, Mine That Bird might be a Triple Crown winner.
What about Shackelford?
I like all the preps. Line them up and let them run.
