It’s Almost That Time of Year Again. ThoroughbredZone Will Track The Kentucky Derby Hopefuls From The Big Prep Races All The Way To The Starting Gate That First Saturday May At Churchill Downs—Cap The Kentucky Derby And Tell You Who We Think Will Win The Roses. Last Year ThoroughbredZone’s Top Pick To Win the Kentucky Derby Never Made It To The Starting Gate—Quality Road Missed The Race Due To Nagging Quarter Cracks. (A Horse ThoroughbredZone Said To Mark Down & Has A Bright Future After His Blockbuster Maiden Win)— After That I Want Revenge Became The Top Pick—He Never Made It—Scratched The Morning Of The Derby. After These Two Were Out No Selection In 2009 Was Made—This Year Will Hopefully Be Different. And As Always We Will Keep A Close Eye On Those Youngsters Ready To Show Up On The Scene And Make Some Noise!
