Super Saturday for 3YO Derby Contenders
Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2018 9:35 am
This Saturday there are 3 important Derby Points Prep Races on tap. All are worth 50-20-10-5 across the board and being run at Aqueduct, Tampa Bay Downs and Santa Anita. Some excellent Derby prospects are entered including Bolt d'Oro (who will be ridden by Javier Castellano for the first time) and Bob Baffert's Mckinzie with Mike Smith in the irons. Dale Romans, who won last Saturday's Fountain Of Youth with Promises Fulfilled, opted to scratch Free Drop Billy from that race and run instead in NY's Gotham Stakes. Free Drop Billy (as well as Enticed) are also cross entered in the Tampa Bay Derby, but both are expected to run in the Gotham. The cross entering of both, is in case the flight to NY is cancelled due to weather? These three races present an interesting handicapping challenge and those who can figure it out could be well rewarded....good luck! TJ
