What horses will come in first, second, and third in the Kentucky Derby this Saturday?

Question

and what is their back ground for winning prior races?

Answer 1

Before the PP draw - which is important in a 20 horse field, plus PP 1 and being in the second gate are terrible disadvantages - here is my play:

W - Cowtown Cat, Illinois Derby winner can rate off the pace but close enough to the lead so as not to get stuck in traffic in the last quarter mile; no matter the fractions, the real running gets going in that last 440 yards

P - Circular Quay, Louisiana Derby winner is another one with the running style to come flying off hot fractions on the front end; a Pletcher trainee who may be poised for a big effort on a big stage

S - Street Sense, looked good in his work Tuesday morning; toss out the Blue Grass because that race set up like a turf stakes - soft early fractions and a mad dash to the wire; but the duels with Dominican and Any Given Saturday has me wondering - even if he wasn't tightened up for max runs- how much is in the tank if it becomes another gut-wrencher in the final 1/8.

Answer 2

Keep checking all the local newspapers and you will find an abundance of "expert" picks throughout the week. Be an informed better by familiaizing yourself with the entrants; then make your own decision. Unless someone else is covering your bets, take their advice with a grain of salt. As for picking 3rd or 4th place (for a superfecta) in a field of twenty in a grade one race, picking your shoe size would be as reliable as anything else.
