Analysis: It’s Louisiana Derby week, and really he doesn’t have much work to do as he is already a lock to make it into the Kentucky Derby field. Regardless, you can bet he’ll be ready for this one and he has the rare opportunity to sweep all three of the Kentucky Derby Prep races at the Fair Grounds. I don’t think people respect him enough…we’ll see if he takes yet another step forward.
