We all know that the possible contenders for the Derby have been competing in their final prep races, but what about us, the race goers?  I am prepping too - I'm brushing up on my handicapping so the Derby weekend can be profitable as well as fun. Picking winners on this particular weekend can be extremely difficult...especially for those who aren't prepared. A few of my watch points: which jockeys are hot at Keeneland and is there a major track bias the first week of the Churchill meet?  Like many others, this circuit tends to be dominated by a handful of jockeys and I have found that track bias has been dramatic during the week leading up to the Derby!  This is just a starting point but I strongly suggest brushing up on your handicapping if you plan on betting every race Thursday through Saturday before you walk through those majestic gates. Happy handicapping!
