After the watching the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, Mechanicville trainer Chad Brown sets himself up for the Travers Stakes at Saratoga in August.
The Preakness Stakes is not until May 21st, but there is no way Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike is going to win. I am still shocked he won the Derby.
Saturday's Kentucky Derby will be interesting to watch for people in the Capital Region. Not only is it the biggest horserace of the season, but there are a couple of local ties to the "Run For The Roses". One is a horse and the other is a trainer.
Trainer Chad Brown could not have asked for a better post position for the Kentucky Derby. Zandon will start from gate 10, which is right in the middle.
