Analysis: This one is currently the favorite in the future books to win the Kentucky Derby! I’m not quite as sold on him just yet, but obviously there is a lot to like. He has a nice win at Churchill Downs in his back pocket, and we saw that he doesn’t mind getting into a good fight down the lane when he nosed out the Grade 1 Los Alamitos Futurity. His 2015 debut comes this weekend in the Grade 2 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita.
