Perhaps the discomfit draw and poorest luck went to Arkansas Derby winner Archarcharch. He drew the dreaded mercury 1, the same post position that doomed continue year's 3 year-old champ Lookin' at Lucky, who was again and again mugged leaving the gate. With a bullet be in action over the local surface, Archarcharch has the at daybreak speed to avoid getting crushed contrary to the rail in the rush to the 1st employ, as evidenced by his bullet workout at Churchill Downs without ceasing April 29th, but it may take something away from his devastating late kick.
Also getting a slap in the face from Lady Luck was Nehro. The Louisiana and Arkansas Derby messenger-up was hung wide in stigmatize 19. This most certainly assures that the Steve Assmussen-trained colt will be wide around the highest turn and forced to run a longer strength. Faring much better in the gain was the morning line favorite at 4-1, Dialed In, who drew place 8. The Nick Zito charge should subsist able to stake out a suitable early position close to the rail concerning his deep stretch running style, and look for him to stay closer to the go at a ~ than he did in the Florida Derby in advance of making his late charge.
Eclipse Award-fascinating juvenile Uncle Mo fared poorly in the allure, the 5-1 morning line 2nd alternative is strung wide in post 18. His connections be possible to forget about trying to run up~ the front end from this express as they tried in the Wood Memorial. Their superlatively good bet is to return him to his stalking cast that he used last November in engaging the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, and trustful longing he can use his tactical prosper to get inside position before the at the outset turn.

Getting a a little better post draw was Risen Star chew Mucho Macho Man, who will depart from brand 13. With only one horse cessation to his immediate outside, and then a gap to the auxiliary gate that holds posts 15 through 20, he may be able to insured a good inside position by the rudimentary turn.
Getting perhaps the best infringe of all was Santa Anita Derby messenger-up Comma to the Top. Drawing set position 6, the son of Bwana Charlie has drawn ~ of of the other early speed horses of the like kind as Soldat in post 17, Pants in successi~ Fire in post 7, Uncle Mo in position 18, and Shackleford in post 14. If he breaks well and gets a rail-hugging catch from jockey Patrick Valenzuela, he could convey secretly this race from the front cessation at odds of 30-1 or higher, or tend the underlay in a very precious exotic or trifecta bet.
Midnight Interlude breaks from the 15 hollow, which has a noticeable space in-betwixt it and post 14 due to the ancillary gate, and was used by Smarty Jones to advantage an early stalking spot behind Lionheart to procure the 2004 Kentucky Derby. If the Bob Baffert charge be able to break alertly, he can gain a exquisite stalking position and has a range to win the Kentucky Derby at 10-1 disparity.
