A dalliance is defined as a playful flirtation, and that is exactly what the next few days are culminating in a marriage of a horse's speed, endurance, courage, and luck that will bring a happy owner, trainer and jockey into the winner's circle in what is arguably Americas most prestigious and difficult race.
Only three weeks remain until the music echoes My Old Kentucky Home, and the hairs on the necks and arms of every racing enthusiast begin to bristle with prospect knowing that the Great Race is only minutes away!
My Old Kentucky Home Lyrics
This years edition will feature a full field drawn from every corner of the country. Will the winner come from Florida, California, Kentucky, New York, Arkansas, Louisiana, Illinois or in the case of last years winner, Bf Egypt, good known as Sunland Park in New Mexico?
Once again, there will be a clamor for the 1st Triple Crown winner in 32 years, which seems extremely unlikely since this year's contenders seem fairly evenly matched with no heavy favorite.
This Saturday we will see the last two stepping stones to the Big Race with the running of the Blue Grass in Kentucky and the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park. Most of the entries will need a good showing to qualify for the Derby since accumulated bankrolls will be the saving grace for those who wish to run.
Both the Blue Grass and the Arkansas Derby do not have any standouts, so the best bet is that a favorite will not win either of the races. In Kentucky, will Odysseus continue his upward climb? Will Interactif put forth his best showing yet? Will Make Music for Me finally live up to expectations? Or will someone else stranger wander in out of the mist? As we move into middle America, will Nobles Promise finally discontinue first?
Will Super Saver show that he needed his last race? Will Dublin return to his form of last year? Will Northern Giant survive his last ditch attempt to make the Derby field? Or will someone else surprise qualify as Cinderella in making it to the big race?
If you participated in the Kentucky Futures Pools, once again many realized it is a bad bet as many of the horses listed will not make the trip to Kentucky, and, of course, the race is still wide open and the field entry appears to be undervalued. We do not endorse participating in these kinds of wagers, so keep this in mind for next years race.
As we arrival the Derby and every person wants the bragging ownership that they imaginable the winner of the Derby, just remember one thing, this is the most difficult race in the world to pick!
We will try to keep you informed prominent up to the first Saturday in May. We will be in attendance for both the Kentucky Oaks and the fabled Kentucky Derby!
