Louisiana Derby – Fair Grounds

Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds featuring Ron the Greek, Discreetly Mine, Wow Wow Wow, and Drosselmeyer

This should be a great race, with previous standouts Drosselmeyer, Discreetly Mine, The Program, Wow Wow Wow, and Ron The Greek headlining this race.

Sunland Derby – Sunland Park

Tempted to Tapit, Storming Saint, Nacho Friend and Guiltbyassociation headline the Sunland Derby at Sunland Park

I’m looking forward to this race.  Primarily because I was partners with the owners of Guiltbyassociation, partly because I’m interested in seeing if a horse from Sunland can perform again on May 1st.  Could the altitude training help come Derby day?

Here’s Ray Paulick’s Kentucky Derby Rankings, updated after this last weekend, March 20th.

Notice that D’ Funnybone, even though he won the Swale Stakes by 1 1/4 lengths, was dropped from the 20th position.  This is due to Pompa Jr., D’ Funnybone’s owner, saying that he’s not interested in pushing D’ Funnybone towards the Derby, but will likely point him towards the Preakness.
