The Kentucky Derby field had a significant scratch yesterday when Omaha Beach pulled out.  It is significant for a number of reasons -- he was the darling after his confident performance in the Arkansas Derby held at Oaklawn (The strategic prep race at 1-1/8 miles which is ideal as a lead up to the Kentucky Derby distance of 1-1/4 miles).  He also accomplished that victory over a sloppy track convincing everyone he could handle off-track conditions (rain is expected this Sat. in Louisville).  He demonstrated consistent improvement in his California races, winning his first at Santa Anita (he's won last three in a row).

Despite all that, the week before Saturday's Derby almost always holds surprises.  Now, it's back to the drawing board to analyze the field of 20 once again. :glasses-nerdy:

My favorite horse was Omaha Beach, but Omaha Beach got scratched on Wednesday night. I'd like to place a bet on a horse and am trying to decide between Roadster and Improbable. But Maximum Security and Tacitus look pretty good too.
