I guess this weekend decided who is the Derby favorite, California Chrome, the horse with the questionable pedigree for a mile and a quarter. I am sure the press will feed on that. There is only one major prep left and I don’t see anybody overtaking the “favorite” role.
They busted a couple bubbles in New York, which I don’t think shocked anybody. So here we are, 26 days left with one prep remaining. Arkansas Derby, April 12th.
The Arkansas Derby was definitely the most exciting prep race to watch this year.
