Kentucky Derby

Well been studying this race for a week after following the prep races.  Looking to find a little bit of a price but the more I look at Epicenter he looks pretty good.  Hate to jump on one of the favorites but can't over look the facts.  Great jockey, great trainer, post position pretty good and his last two races where great.  He won the Risen Star easily beating Zandon, and in the Louisiana Derby he again beat several in this field, set a track record while "geared down" and he likes Churchill where he broke his maiden.  The horse has to get the trip to win this and with Rosario riding he is one of the best.

I agree. Most logical winner. Think this is Asmussen's [0-23] best yet, but I said the same thing about Gunrunner back in 2016. Difference is I think this one is a little more seasoned and just love how he is leading up. 7-2 is fair but if he somehow manages odds of 4-1  Im all in. Mattress Mike, please go away! Wild card for me is Taiba. Good Luck with all your plays.
