Weather complications are going to interfere with the day, but Churchill's main track surface can take a punch like few others, so let's hope for conditions that are as fair as possible. Have no great additional insight to add to the hours of conversation on air and the Xpressbet Wager Guide entry. I started with Justify-Good Magic-Bolt d'Oro-Flameaway in the Guide and will adjust only slightly off that. Justify has the look of a special horse and should get every opportunity to be successful when it comes to the trip. Good Magic has done everything Chad Brown suggested since the Fountain of Youth comebacker and has looked terrific preparing for today. He and Justify are the 2 runners I think are the most likely winners. Hofburg moved up on the radar with he and Good Magic having had the best 2 weeks of training at the Downs. Bolt d'Oro has taken a lap around the track to warm up daily and has slipped in terms of win candidacy. I'm going to defensively use Mendelssohn and Audible as players with authentic credentials. Particularly appealing late runners that I'll use for exotics are Solomini, Lone Sailor, Combatant and Free Drop Billy. Enjoy Derby!

![]() That would be disappointing. Does this give an advantage to horses like Justify and Mendelssohn who may be able to jump out front and stay clean the entire race?
