One thing this year's Blue Grass has is an abundance of talented horses. This mob of equine athletes is lead by the great Tapit colt, Hansen. Here is a breakdown of the field and how I'll be betting.

The early line for the Arkansas Derby is out and my opinion about who the main players are in this race remain Optimizer and Secret Circle. Here is a breakdown of the field and how I'll be betting.

El Padrino is a Pulpit and Enchanted Rock colt. He was #18 on the earnings list as of April 1st, but with his loss in the Florida Derby and a few other upset wins in major graded stakes races, it is very unlikely he'll make an appearance on May 5th. There are some new hopefuls in the top 20 and there's not enough time for El Padrino to get a final prep race in. Unless there are a few sit-outs, don't expect to see El Padrino.
