Analysis: There will be a maiden in this years Kentucky Derby! This horse has zero shot of actually winning, but I feel like I must rank him now because he is very likely to run in the Kentucky Derby. Finished second in the Gotham Stakes on a track that favored speed worse than any track I’ve seen all year. Nice horse, but needs to be running against maidens and not in the Kentucky Derby.
