Dick Powell's Handicapping Insights - May 8
He analyzes the Derby and speculates on the Preakness. From Dick Powell's Handicapping Insights, May 8:- He raises a couple of questions I've not seen addressed previously: "The question for American Pharoah is how does he handle another grueling race in two weeks. Baffert had him trained to the minute for the Derby but it sure looked like the foot/ankle was bothering him turning for home. I was always concerned about Firing Line's ability to get 10 furlongs and he will appreciate the shorter distance. Don't know why he raced most of the Churchill Downs stretch on the wrong lead but coming off a six-week rest, he should be super tough in Baltimore."
Catch up on Derby weekend, with the Derby and the Oaks, as well as the undercards. Results are posted at the "CARDS" in addition to links for reports and videos. Check it out here
