ANALYSIS
The Derby, as usual, is loaded with speed and the winner figures to be running late. DANCE WITH FATE closed strongly to win the Blue Grass and seems to be holding his form, if not peaking right now. He worked well on the dirt at Santa Anita and has really looked good moving over the Churchill surface. Give him the roses. INTENSE HOLIDAY looks to be on topof his game if his appearance is any indicator. DANZA freaked in Arkansas and is a threat.
