13th: Arkansas Derby (G1), 3yo, 9f (DD)
Fascinating situation with Baffert trying daring gambit stretching Cornucopian to 9f G1 off 6f diploma nab here last month. And if he is left alone at all, (though Speed King should be winging), he’ll be tough to catch on what may be a tight, glib surface given the ambient conditions. Coal Battle is versatile and plucky. Sandman will be closing. Monet’s Magic had subtle trouble in the Southwest. Publisher is the latest daring Asmussen ‘Lock of the Week’ and while winless, looks an awful lot like Creator did coming into his AR Derby win..
