NEW YORK - The long road to the Kentucky Derby begins in earnest Saturday, when Stevie Wonderboy, the Derby future-book favorite and a lock to be named champion 2-year-old male of 2005 on the basis of his victory in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, begins his 3-year-old campaign in the $150,000 San Rafael Stakes at Santa Anita. Elsewhere, Saturday is the biggest day of the Fair Grounds meet at Louisiana Downs, with four $250,000 stakes events, topped by the Risen Star for 3-year-olds.
