The Road to The Kentucky Derby Begins with GR III Iroquois

[TJ]

It's hard to believe it's that time again, but this Saturday starts the "2016 Road to The Kentucky Derby". The Derby points system has remained basically the same with one major change for 2016. The 2015 BC Juvenile will be worth twice as many points as in previous years. Entries and pp's below. TJ

I can't say I really love any of these, but Conquest Windycity has raced respectably at the distance, albeit on turf. So I'll go with him.

Unbridled Outlaw for me. I love seeing Echo Echo Echo in a pedigree

Interesting field, with five maidens, and I like one of them:Star Hill.
But, I do expect Conquest to hit the board, and maybe even get up to win it, if there is sufficient pace for him to run at.

Here's the finish, a speed dual set it up for the winner who set a Stakes record...all the rest came from far behind...replay below:
