In Lexington, the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes has DORNOCH vs. SIERRA LEONE; at Aqueduct in New York a large field of 13 compete in the Wood Memorial (G2); and on the west coast, the Santa Anita Derby (G1) could produce a major Kentucky Derby (G1) contender.

Those are the ‘big three’ races this weekend (also part of a new wager) and the last of the major stepping-stone races for the 150th Kentucky Derby on May 4. It is sure to be a wild afternoon of racing.

(Canadian Thoroughbred and bet365 Canada have handicapping articles on all three races on the site, check them out here, here and here!)
