Analysis: Very happy that the UAE Derby winner is planning on running in the Kentucky Derby. It’s nice to know we didn’t just waste 100 points on a horse that has no interest in running in the race, however I do not give Lani much of a shot. The UAE Derby was not an ultra impressive race, and basically nobody has ever come out of that race and made an impact in the Kentucky Derby. We will welcome him to America, but we shouldn’t bet on him!
