| Comments from the Professor, our "Horse Race Ace": |
In the Kentucky Derby, Gemologist enters undefeated, showing grit last out; Creative Cause has not run a bad race, and
has always looked like he wanted more distance; Daddy Nose Best is a steadily improving closer in a field with much speed.
Veteran Awesome Gem back in the Mervyn Leroy Handicap.
