Latest Kentucky Derby rankings
It's tough to remember a year when there weren't at least two or three horses that appeared to be solid picks in the Kentucky Derby. This year it's a total crapshoot, with virtually all prospective starters having a question mark or two.
Uncle Mo? In the Wood, he looked like a horse that wanted no part of the Derby's 1 1/4-mile distance. Was it the G1 tract infection that he was diagnosed with this week or his pedigree? There's a good chance he might not even be fit or healthy enough to run in the Derby. We'll see.
The Factor? At one point earlier this year, trainer Bob Baffert thought about keeping the speedball in one-turn races. But he's developed to the point where he can now go two turns and win. Whether he can win Saturday's Arkansas Derby at 1 1/8 miles or negotiate the Derby distance is still a question.
