Atomic Rain finished fourth in the Wood Memorial and all Derby Picks Experts polled by Point-Spreads.com agree that the late entry has no shot to win. Atomic Rain was immediately loaded in a van to Louisville to race at Churchill Downs from New Jersey.“Didn't even get into the field until Tuesday and for good reason, he doesn't belong,” stated VegasInsider.com 2009 Derby Picks Expert Anthony Stabile when asked to comment on Atomic Rain. “He'll serve as nothing more than an early pacesetter.” Trainer Kelly Breen is making his first appears in the 2009 Derby and the top horses he has trained include 2006 Astoria Stakes winner Desire To Excel and 2008 Astoria winner Bold Union, Praying for Cash, who in 2006 won the G3 Long Branch Breeders’ Cup and was second in the $1 million Haskell Invitational (G1), and Appealing Spring, winner of the 2007 Bergen County Stakes. Jockey Joe Bravo will be riding Atomic Rain from the 14th post.
