All three Kentucky Derby
points races this weekend feature top shelf juveniles. The Champagne appears the most loaded
with the current Kentucky Derby 2nd choice favorite Shanghai Bobby, buzz horse
Archwarrior, Doug O’Neill’s shipper Goldencents, Godolphin’s highly regarded
Fortify, and possibly Todd Pletcher’s dominating Saratoga maiden winner
Micromanage. The winner is likely
to be the favorite for both the
Breeders’ Cup Juvenile as well as the early choice for the Derby.
The Dixiana Breeder’s
Futurity drew a full field and has Pletcher’s Tizracer as the morning line
favorite at 4-1. How young horses
handle the Keeneland polytrack is always unpredictable and the full race is
likely to have excellent payouts.
Current Kentucky Derby
favorite Uncaptured will try to continue his undefeated dominance at Woodbine
in the Grey Stakes. He figures to
be an extremely short price and the added distance should not be an issue.
