R11 - G1 Kentucky Derby

#1 Vicar's in Trouble (15-1) - Draws the dreaded rail and Rosie will have her hands full.
#2 Harry's Holiday (50-1) - Seems overmatched versus this field.
#3 Uncle Sigh (30-1) - Interesting price play, but must step up his game.
#4 Danza (8-1) - Eye popping performance in Arkansas Derby and could be getting better. Dangerous.
#5 California Chrome (5-2) - Stands out on paper, but must prove it on the biggest stage. Siding against.
#6 Samraat (15-1) - Tough customer might not want to keep this type of company.
#7 We Miss Artie (30-1) - Should be starting in the American Turf race earlier in the card.
#8 General a Rod (20-1) - Have to wonder how much did those big efforts at Gulfstream take out of him.
#9 Vinceremos (50-1) - Throw out the synthetic try and he still has some work to do.
#10 Wildcat Red (20-1) - Gutsy as they come, but just looks as a pace presence at this point.
#12 Dance With Fate (15-1) - Good looking colt must answer the question about the dirt. Using underneath.
#13 Chitu (30-1) - Tricky read after bypassing Derby Trial last week. Speed factor.
#14 Medal Count (20-1) - Hard to argue Roman's success in this race.
#15 Tapiture (12-1) - Had starting spot secured prior to Arky Derby and is being a bit ignored. Have a feeling he's sitting on a big one.
#16 Intense Holiday (8-1) - Has picked up a lot of steam since arriving to Churchill. Grinder is a must use underneath.
#17 Commanding Curve (30-1) - Big closer will need perfect trip to add some spice to bottom of exotics.
#18 Candy Boy (15-1) - Stevens stated that he would take him back early, which should really produce a move that could end up draped in roses.
#19 Ride On Curlin (20-1) - Definitely has the right style and jockey to be successful in this spot.
#20 Wicked Strong (8-1) - Keeps chugging away and another step forward will get it done.
