all in Triple Crown

For many years, the $1 million Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park has been contested three weeks prior to the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve.

Tom Pedulla presents five key takeaways from the $12 million Dubai World Cup Sponsored by Emirates Airline, the $1 million Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby, and looks at other major developments this weekend:

A change in tactics and the addition of blinkers provided the winning formula March 27 for Reddam Racing's Slow Down Andy in the $500,000, Grade 3 Sunland Park Derby at Sunland Park. 

On the same day in which Japanese horses won five races in Dubai, Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen and Eclipse Award-winning jockey Joel Rosario teamed to win five races themselves March 26 at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots, capped by the $1 million Grade 2 Twinspires.com Louisiana Derb

When initial Triple Crown nominations were released in early February, among the cast of 312 were 21 Japanese horses, including a colt with a 2-for-2 record by the name of Crown Pride.
