The Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park offers the 100-40-20-10 points to pave the way to Churchill Downs.

The two top runners in the market are expected to fight it out - Bob Baffert's Improbable and Richard Mandella's Omaha Beach. They fought out the finish of the Rebel and there isn't much between them. Improbable is on 8/5 and Omaha Beach 2/1. If they spend their time eyeballing each other it could leave a gap for Long Range Toddy to come in on 5/1.

The Oaklawn Handicap is Gr 2 for 4y+ over 1800m. Giant Expectations is on 3/1, Tenfold 7/2 and we like Quip on 4/1.

Over at Keeneland the Jenny Wiley is Gr 1 for the 4y+ f&m over 1700m on turf.

Chad Brown saddles the top three in the market with Rushing Falls on 6/5, Rymska on 5/2 and Onthemoonagain 7/2. Wouldn't be the first time he's had the trifecta on turf.
