Churchill Downs Race 12 - Kentucky Derby Presented By Woodford Reserve Stakes
JOURNALISM was best at the finish when landing the Santa Anita Derby and this son of Curlin gives every impression that he will relish the step up to 1m2f. Stall eight looks to be a good draw, and it may be the Arkansas Derby winner SANDMAN that gives him the most to think about. Others to note include BURNHAM SQUARE, RODRIGUEZ and SOVEREIGNTY.
