One Great Season
Bob Baffert's Lookin At Lucky is the 3-1 favorite in Saturday's Kentucky Derby 136, but Irish eyes appeared to have been smiling instead on Paddy O'Prado and Dublin in Wednesday's post-position draw.
To claim that elusive fourth Derby win, Baffert will have to send his horse from gate No. 1. No horse has won from the rail since Ferdinand found a pot of Derby gold in 1986, and none has finished in the money since 1988.
Not that everyone's talking about Paddy O'Prado or Dublin, but jockeys Kent Desormeaux and Terry Thompson could enjoy better trips from gates 10 and 17, respectively. Desormeaux nearly rode Big Brown to a Triple Crown just two years ago, and Dublin, trained by four-time Derby winner D. Wayne Lukas, wouldn't be a huge surprise to win the roses.
