The horse racing news of the day is who isn't racing (Derby favorite I Want Revenge was scratched) and who raced yesterday (Rachel Alexandra won the Kentucky Oaks by over 20 lengths yesterday - yes, you read that right, over 20 lengths). But for the big race of today I'll go ahead and stick my neck out and say that my picks out of the remaining favorites are Friesan Fire and Chocolate Candy (and no, no simply because Jenny Craig is running a horse named that). And for those of you who like to bet exotics, I'd say include Summer Bird. He's still extremely young and hasn't raced much, but he looks like he could have quite a future. Should be an exciting race. This is a deep, high-quality field where a lot of horses have a legitimate shot at winning.
