Homestretch derby

Ok the last of the favorites made his lomg anticipated prep on last Saturday. American pharaoh won easily against an ok field. He did what he needed to do to keep his top ranking. He went 1 3/16 of a mile and that's a bit short of what he will need for the derby. The field is far from set...but he is scheduled to arrive at churchill on the 17th. Which just FYI will be first very long first anticipate start of the first born out of Zenyatta the queen of racing.. Her being 19 of 20 and only mare to win the breeders cup classic. Her last and only defeat came in the classic just missing the repeat by a head to blame. Oh well more to come as it comes...
