LOUISVILLE, Ky. - As expected, Dialed In was made the early 9-2 favorite for Saturday’s 137th Kentucky Derby. Also as expected, the early-bird bettors in Louisville flocked to their favorite son, Calvin Borel, making his mount, Twice the Appeal, the 7-1 co-second choice, along with Nehro.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – When First Dude and Regal Ransom hit the wire as a team at the end of the $300,000 Alysheba, trainer Bob Baffert turned to the group watching the race along with him in the trainers’ lounge and said “I’ll split it with him.” Fortunately for Baffert, none of the connections of Regal Ransom were present to take him up on the offer because when the photo sign came down it was First Dude’s number that was posted as the winner.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Going into the first turn of Friday's $237,400 American Turf Stakes at Churchill Downs, Banned was only in front of three of the 11 rivals he was facing in the Grade 2 event. His jockey, Garrett Gomez, was a little concerned.

"Going into the first turn I thought sooner or later he'd start moving forward, but he really didn't," Gomez said. "He was actually kind of content with where he was at."

It soon became obvious that Banned was saving himself for the stretch run.
