Instead of going into analysis on each horse, I'll keep it succinct and focus only on horses I like best. The main focus of all my bets will be on Lookin At Lucky and Noble's Promise . I have not been wowed by any 3-year-old this season and with Eskendereya out, I don't think any of the current Derby...

Just a few short days ago it was a nice, tidy Derby picture. We had the Todd Squad, led by the big, bad morning-line favorite Eskendereya. Baffert was playing the role of underdog. There were the customary "bubble" horses whose connections were doing their annual complaining about the graded earnings...

Jackson Bend is a great horse, but I picked Eskendereya to beat him in the Fountain of Youth. I did like Ice Box's run as well. I pick Zito's Ice Box over his other horses." --...

With nearly two months of the Derby prep trail completed, quite honestly I have not been blown away with the 3-year-old crop as a whole. Maybe that's why the horse I have ranked No. 1 on my list doesn't even have any graded earnings yet. I'm hoping my outlook changes in March. Admittedly, Eskendereya...

If you have not read Steve Haskin's Derby Dozen for this week, be sure to do so. Why you ask? Because his number one pick is a MaidenWatch horse (by Saint Liam) and he is trained by Bruce Levine, I am good friends with Bruce's niece. Say hello to Buddys Saint . This blog is actually about several of...

We're still three and a half months away from the Kentucky Derby, and as everyone knows, a lot can happen between now and then. But acknowledging that, you would be hard-pressed to find many that would say Lookin at Lucky is not the solid favorite at this point. Lookin at Lucky has won five of six with...
