5/5: Churchill-Derby Day (Carryover)

[Kasept]

Tough Oaks day card was made more complicated by track/turf conditions Friday resulting in steady stream of surprise horses in various mutuel slots and a second carryover ($200,000+) into Derby Day.. No end in sight to the poor weather either, so it may be more of the same this 'First Saturday in May'..

Failure of Leparoux to get up with 14-1 top tab Gem Sleuth, (arriving late and missing by a head in Friday's 6th), was the difference between getting out whole and a downer on the afternoon.. Fiery Pursuit's upset toppled the P4 as well.. Let's tee it up again on what is a mediocre Derby Day card..
