Interesting lines.
Only two runners at less than double digit odds. Since 2001 we have never had a KD with less than 3.
In 2010 when there were 3 less than 10 - 1 they consumed 28% of the pool. The above translates into 2 less than 10 - 1 with 28% of the pool also.
The race is also looking like 2010 a race where the winner had the 10th highest 3 year-old top of the field going in and the trip was the key as the trifecta were 1w/1w, 1w/1w and 1w/2w.
For my money the jockey most likely to get a ground saving trip who has proven he knows who to win the Derby and has enough horse to do is Kent Desormeaux (BTW also finished 3rd in 2010.
2010 Finish 3rd; post position 10; odds 12.3 -1, 6th betting choice; 1W/2W
PADDY O’PRADO, came in in the early stages forcing STATELY VICTOR into LOOKIN AT LUCKY, was reserved along the inside, followed the winner after a half, came out three wide entering the second turn to split rivals, made a good gain after seven furlongs, swerved out and then back in the near the quarter mile marker, split horses soon after, reached closest to the winner with a sixteenth to go but hung.
