. Z FORTUNE (30-1)
Taxing effort in the Arkansas Derby has been a concern for trainer Steve Asmussen, and this talented horse did not appear to be at his peak training this past week. Following his final breeze, he nearly came to a walk in the gallop-out. He's better than his eventual finish might indicate.

Z Fortune: Has been conservatively handled coming off a career-best performance in the Arkansas Derby. An imposing specimen who has made an awesome appearance on a daily basis. Expecting another huge effort with any racing luck Saturday.
I'm with Welsch on this one. Really like the progression if you forgive the Rebel non-effort, and like what I've seen in the mornings (much more so than his stablemate).

I always love the "no chance" posts.
