Post Kentucky Derby
Maybe you've heard of it? It's today. I've handicapped the bejeebus out of it for a week now and I've become more and more convinced it's a two horse race between Irish War Cry and Gunnevera. Irish War Cry ran an amazing race last out with Rajiv Maragh riding first time. I think he'll run that race again and will be hard to beat. I think Gunnevera will beat him. Rarely do you see Derby horses with such a perfect race progression before the derby. No issues on his Derby trail. Last race was a nice tightener for this. Not too hard and not too easy.

Kentucky Derby --- Gunnevera / Irish War Cry / Lookin At Lee

The six stakes before the Derby if you are interested...

Humana Distaff --- Carina Mia / Finest City / Lightstream
Churchill Distaff Turf Mile --- Harmonize / Believe in Bertie / Miss Temple City
Pat Day Mile --- Wild Shot / You're to Blame / Rapid Dial
American Turf Stakes --- Big Score / Good Samaritan / Holiday Stone
Churchill Downs Stakes --- Denman's Call / Awesome Slew / The Truth Or Else
Woodford Reserve Turf Classic --- Can'thelpbelieving / Bal a Bali / Beach Patrol

Good to see an insight from over the pond. I am no expert on US racing form (nor UK some would say after tipping Al Wukair to beat Churchill).

I had it between McCraken and Irish War Cry, slightly favouring the former. May do a forecast now after reading your views.
