In addition, on Friday afternoon, I will be posting my detailed Graded Analysis for all of the horses in the Derby, analyzing every horse’s chances. If you wish to buy the detailed, complete Kentucky Derby analysis, including the pros and cons of all starters, please go to “Today’s Full Racing Card” and transmit $10 to my PayPal account. I will then forward the full Kentucky Derby analysis to you by electronic mail. Thank you… _____________________________________________________ SANTA ANITA (THE GREAT RACE PLACE) Friday, May 5, 2017 FOR AMUSEMENT---AND NOT BEMUSEMENT---ONLY!!! (Of course, these are recommendations only, and there are no guarantees in this sport, but that is what generates its mystique. And so, please follow your own heart and mind, considering me as a mere advisor, when making your selections. In any event, I do wish you all the best in your quest to “predict the future,” because it ain’t easy. And remember, horses, just like us, have aches and pains, headaches, suffer fatigue, etc. Try not to get mad at me, I usually have excellent days, occasionally, not-so-excellent days: with all of the informative past performance data we handicappers have in front of us, we have no idea how a particular horse feels at race time. By way of example, maybe that 50/1 colt is in a big hurry because he has a hot fillie waiting for him back at the barn…so please stick with me if there are a few “speed-bumps” along the way.) This analysis is prepared under the reasonable assumption that (i) all turf races will be run on a “firm” turf track, and (ii) all dirt races will be run on a track graded “fast.” Should different conditions exist at post time for a given race, please temper these selections with your own best judgment in light of less-than ideal conditions.

  • This Year's Kentucky Derby Is Considered Wide Open As No Horse
    OVERVIEW: This year’s Kentucky Derby is considered wide open as no horse has seemed especially dominant. In the 80s and 90s, the favorite never seemed to win but that trend has been totally reversed. The post-time wagering favorite has actually won the Derby each of the last four years. Still, the payouts have been solid as the 20-horse field and the desire of bettors to chase longshots spreads the money around. The favorite this year could be 4-1 or higher as there is no clear standout. There’s a strong chance of a wet track as the weather in Louisville is lousy through the weekend and I have factored that into my analysis. I’ll assess each horse, in post-position order. THE FIELD (in post position order): #1 LOOKIN AT LEE - I really liked this horse as he had a very troubled trip last time when third in the Arkansas Derby and has been improving with each race. But it is almost impossible to win the Derby from this post position. #2 NOVEMBER SNOW - This horse made the field by winning the UAE Derby in Dubai and that route still hasn’t produced a Derby winner. But this one is by far the best horse to come via Dubai. He won a Grade 1 grass race in Europe as a two year old last year and has gotten better since being switched to the dirt. But the post position is awful and I am discounting him. #3 FAST AND ACCURATE - He may be accurate but he’s not fast.
