The Grade 3, $250,000 Withers Stakes, a Kentucky Derby prep race on Saturday at Aqueduct, is where we find this week’s upset special: Tencendur (12-1 on the morning line).

The field of seven runners features two big favorites in Classy Class (2-1) and El Kaieber (8-5). And, with a short field and two strong favorites, value and opportunity await if you can find the longshot.

The $500,000 Donn Handicap will be the feature race at Gulfstream Park on Saturday, and if you are not lucky enough to be in Florida to see this race in person, the Donn will also be showcased as part of the first The Jockey Club Tour on Fox Sports 1 broadcast of 2015.

Preps are most generally associated with major stakes races, but they can also come in handy for claiming horses.

The difference is that for claimers the “preps” are not always that obvious.

Ludicrous Speed serves as an excellent example of how a prep turned in by a claiming horse can be a rewarding experience.
