Arkansas Derby – Oaklawn Park

Noble's Promise, Super Saver, Dublin take on the Arkansas Derby field at Oaklawn Park

Noble’s Promise is a shoe in for the Grand Daddy, currently ranking 3rd in Graded Stakes Earnings with $708,000.  Dublin looks to have previously secured his starting position in the Kentucky Derby, boasting the #17 position with graded earnings at $273,208.  However, Uh Oh Bango (#25), SuperSaver (#29), and Northern Giant (#36) all need a big score in the Arkansas Derby to qualify for the Kentucky Derby on May 1st.

Toyota Blue Grass Stakes – Keeneland

The last major prep for the Kentucky Derby, will the graded earnings list shift significantly?
This will be an interesting race, as it’s likely the last race in which these horses can secure their place in the Kentucky Derby starting gate.  Currently, Interactif is sitting in the #18 spot with $270,450.  The Blue Grass has all sorts of bubble horses, including Aikenite (#22), Make Music For Me (#23), Odysseus (#26), Pleasant Prince (#30), and Paddy O’Prado (#37).  How the Toyota Blue Grass shapes up will have a huge impact on who we see make, and who we see get bumped from, the Kentucky Derby.
