"This horse ran a career best effort last out which leads me to believe he may bounce," stated Kentucky Derby Prediction Expert Anthony Stabile of VegasInsider.com when asked if Recapturetheglory is a worthy Kentucky Derby Pick. "And let's not forget that he had things his own way last out as well. He'll put in his usual honest effort, but I don't think its good enough in here. I'm passing."
“Wire-to-wire win in Illinois Derby is reminiscent of War Emblem’s front-running victory in the ’02 Kentucky Derby.,” stated Kentucky Derby Pick Expert Greg Melikov of HorsingAround.info. “His speed figure was triple digit in the prep, just like the son of Our Emblem, but the son of Cherokee Run must overcome his breeding shortcomings.”
“Another one with presumed distance limitations,” stated horse racing predictions experts at Superfecta Blog.
