It's very exciting. I'm really starting to think she can run well in the Derby. Would be so amazing if she did.

These (and Monaco Consul) are the horses she's likely to face in the Derby. This is the field for the Championship Stakes tomorrow, which is the last big Derby prep.

Zarzuela is going to be hard to beat here, but I also really like Joey Massino, Corporal Jones, Maciano and King Raedwald. Should be a good race.

Imabayboy, Kilkenny and Walk Away are some Derby hopefuls running in undercard races.
