I think now is a good time to start preparing for what should be a wide open race. I have been looking over the contender past performances. First thing that jumps off the page is the vast amount of early speed that could potentially be in this race. However, no Danzing Candy, which should mean slower early fractions.
Exaggerator and Lani from off the pace are both going to be a factor. Lani's Kentucky derby was compromised at the start, but still managed to beat 11 other horses. With much less late speed he should have a solid chance.
More to come after post positions are drawn and the field is set.
