The Road to the Kentucky Derby Started Last Weekend

Yes, it's true.  The first Kentucky Derby points were handed out on Saturday, fittingly enough, at Churchill Downs.  And there is definitely a "favorite" already but hoping not to jinx this talented two-year-old this early in the game.

Dennis' Moment did not disappoint the crowd when he went on to win a race in which he was the clear favorite. After demolishing his competition at Saratoga this summer by winning his last race by over 19 lengths, this bay colt, a son of Tiznow, came off to win effortlessly, setting a Stakes record along the way. 

He made it look pretty darn easy and he'll be bubble-wrapped until the Breeder's Cup in early November where he will likely be vying for the top-two-year-old honors. He;s most definitely a Derby horse.
