Betting Outlook

The Santa Anita Derby was pretty much a disaster for Intrepido. In his first race at 1 1/8 miles, the horse faded late, which gives me very little hope in him for this 1 1/4 mile contest. On that day, So Happy and Potente looked like they were in a different class than Intrepido, and with both those horses in this race, there’s no reason to trust Intrepido in a crowded field.
