Michael Hammersly's weekly "Trip Notes" report, which includes graded stakes from the previous weekend - this week including the Blue Grass Stakes and Arkansas Derby, the last two major Kentucky Derby preps.
While this year’s Arkansas Derby may seem softened by the absence of the three major local stakes preps winners on the season, it would be foolhardy not to look at this race as perhaps the definitive event on the trail.
