Winners and Losers of the Post Draw

Winners

Dortmund drew inside of of the speed, but he has the shortest distance to the rail without actually being on the rail. If he breaks good this is a perfect spot for this big horse.

Firing Line another that got just the right post as he will be breaking from post ten which puts him smack in the middle right where you want to be.

Mubtaahij the six post is really going to help this horse it will put him right behind the speed and give him a solid spot to stalk.

Bob Baffert for once Bob didn't draw the rail in the Derby looks like things are finally going to play out the way he wants.

Losers

Ocho Ocho Ocho is an obvious loser here and he will need to drop back and settle which actually may help this colt.

Carpe Diem not a good spot for this colt he will be one of the first horses to load and with his previous gate issues this wont be a good spot for this colt.

Materiality he will have to send from post three which is not ideal for this colt.

Todd Pletcher I'm sure if he had the choice he would swap his posts around as his lesser two drew excellent and his top two drew terrible.

Derby Six for 3/17/18

1. Bolt D' Oro Medaglia D'Oro- Globe Trot by AP Indy Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: Mick Ruis Owner: Ruis Racing LLC Career Stats: Starts: 5 Wins: 4 Seconds: 0 Thirds: 1 Earnings: $816,000 Derby Points: 64 Analysis: He rested all my worries about him not being 100% in the San Felipe. This horse is bred up and down for the Derby distance and with his acceleration and his versatility this is a horse who should handle the Derby with aplomb. 2. McKinzie Street Sense- Runway Model by Petionville Jockey: Mike Smith Trainer: Bob Baffert Owner: Karl Watson, Mike Pegram, & Paul Weitman Career Stats: Starts: 4 Wins: 3 Seconds: 1 Thirds: 0 Earnings: $350,000 Derby Points:40 Analysis: Another who rested my doubts about him in the San Felipe this is one tough hard knocking colt. He does still need to get his stretch antics figured out but that being said he is still a strong force to be reckoned w...

Derby Six for 1/10/16

1. Brody's Cause Giant's Causeway- Sweet Breanna by Sahm Jockey: Corey J. Lanerie Trainer: Dale L. Romans Owner: Albaugh Family Stable Career Record: Starts: 4 Firsts: 2 Seconds: 0 Thirds: 1 Earnings: $523,138 Derby Points: 14 Extremely talented individual with a ground covering stride that looks like he'll get better with age. If he handles the transition from two to three he's going to be one tough costumer this winter. His third in the Juvenile is not discouraging he simply did not have enough time to make up ground as he was really far back in the Juvenile. Has yet to work since his last effort, but that's not too concerning expect him to make a return in either the Fountain of Youth or Rebel Stakes. Last Win: 2015 Breeders Futurity Last Race: 2015 Breeders Cup Juvenile Last Race Finish: 3rd 2. Sail Ahoy Bernardini- Matlacha Pass by Seeking The Gold Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Claude R. McGaughey III Owner: Phipps...
