Racing Dudes 2018 Top 20 Kentucky Derby Rankings #3

2. McKinzie

Derby Points/Rank: 20 – 5th

Race Record: (3) 3-0-0

Earnings: $270,000

Breeding: Street Sense – Runway Model

Owner: Watson, Pegram, and Weitman

Trainer: Bob Baffert

Last Race: Grade 3 Sham Stakes at Santa Anita, Finished 1st  

Racing Dudes Fantasy League Owner: Jon White/Ryan Stillman

Analysis: He is still the most hyped of all of Baffert’s 3-year-olds, and that means a lot, as he continues to show up with star horses each week. Solomini did finish ahead of him in their only matchup, the Grade 1 Los Alamitos Futurity, so we’ll have to see how that situation progresses. Baffert took the blinkers off for his most recent start, and the horse responded with an ultra-impressive performance. My Boy Jack winning the Grade 3 Southwest Stakes flatters McKinzie after the son of Street Sense easily defeated him in the Sham.
