Analysis: The big week is here for our number one horse! He’ll make his final start before the Kentucky Derby in this week’s Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland. His recent workouts have been really solid, and it looks like he’s thriving better than ever right now. This will be no easy task, but with a win, he’ll be the morning line favorite for the Kentucky Derby in four weeks.
