Last chance saloon in the Arkansas Derby
Caddo River, Get Her Number and Super Stock could all qualify for the Kentucky Derby by placing in the Arkansas Derby, while Bob Baffert will be aiming to guide Hozier to the showpiece race...
Forty points should be enough, right?
Rombauer, with 34 points, has connections that are probably the most interested in whether Weyburn races at Churchill Downs or not. He is in 21st place and is tied with Proxy on points but has a big edge in earnings, $260,500 to $160,000.
Horses that could head to the Kentucky Derby
Concert Tour won the 50-20-10-5 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn on March 13 and, with the victory, punched his ticket to Churchill Downs. The Bob Baffert-trained colt is the odds-on favorite at 3/5 in the Arkansas Derby, but there are several other quality challengers in the race.
That would potentially put him as high as 16th in the standings and push Sainthood, Rombauer and Proxy down a spot. Three other entries - Caddo River with 10 points, Get Her Number also with 10, and Super Stock with nine - can all advance to the Kentucky Derby with a win or second-place finish on Saturday.
