Kentucky Oaks and Derby

Kentucky Oaks 
What to Expect
  • I think that On Fire Baby is going to come out well on fire on the rail and be out in front throughout the entire race.
  • Then around the last turn the favorite Grace Hall will attempt to make their move to catch up to On Fire Baby
  • I also believe that Broadway's Alibi will be up near the front with On Fire Baby as those two should be up near the front of the pack
  • In the end my expectation is that Grace Hall's move will overcome Broadway's Alibi, but will not be able to catch up to On Fire Baby
  • As a result I am going with
  1. On Fire Baby
  2. Grace Hall
  3. Broadway's Alibi
  • Dark Horse- Believe You Can (13/1)
Kentucky Derby
What to Expect
  • Expect horses such as Hansen, Bodemeister, and Gemologist to try to get to the front of the pack early
  • Expect horses such as Union Rags and Dullahan to be sitting in the middle looking to make their move at the end
  • I am thinking that Union Rags is going to make a successful move in the end and come away with the win here
  1. Union Rags
  2. Bodemeister
  3. Hansen
  • Dark Horse- Creative Cause (13/1)
