all in Triple Crown

For the sixth year in a row, America’s Best Racing is challenging some of the brightest minds in horse betting to come up with their top three picks for key races every weekend leading up to the 2022 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2022 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big Race Showdown.”

Have you seen the field for Saturday’s $1 million Group 2 United Arab Emirates Derby at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai? If there’s a more competitive race taking place anywhere in the world this weekend, I’m not sure which it would be.

Though the Sunland Park Derby is contested in the midst of the 170-point Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve qualifiers, Sunday’s stakes – which will be held at Sunland Park for the first time since 2019 – offers only 85 points to the top four finishers.

BloodHorse news editor Byron King presents his latest Derby Dozen for 2022, with a look at his leading contenders for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve on May 7.

The action on the Road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve will kick into its highest gear Saturday when the Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby ushers in the final round of preps in the United States that boost the pool of qualifying points for the run for the roses to 170.
