The Kentucky Derby is one of many horse racing "betting" opportunities. It is actually one of the most challenging due to the sheer number of entries in the "Race" and the distance of a mile and a quarter where most have never attempted while carrying 126 lbs in front of 175,000 jubilant fans "drenched" in mint juleps......

Justify and Mike Smith were expected in the Santa Anita Derby to ration his early speed and to work on his closing fraction which they did accomplished over a deep track. (Justify's last 3 furlongs was 37.0 seconds ) The Santa Anita main dirt track has been playing slow. It seems that the maintenance crew added quite a bit of sand during the raining season.
