Which Youth will Rise to the Top in the South?

Three major preps this weekend for the Florida Derby, Arkansas Derby and Louisana Derby respectivly. The Risen Star at the Fair Grounds is the prep for the Louisana Derby, and features highely impressive Aqueduct winner Tempted to Tapit, WinStar's Drosselmeyer and Lacomte winner Ron the Greek. The Fountain of Youth is the much anticipated 3yo debut of Buddy's Saint, but he will have to go against Jackson Bend, Akinate among other contenders. The delayed Southwest also goes off tomorrow, featuring Smarty Jones winner and runner up Dryfly and Pleasant Storm respectivly. However, don't count out Dublin and Convaynce.

I'm not going to be doing a race by race preview for this week, however that will return next week. This is because of lack of time. Plus the next few weeks I've got a few posts that will be about memories, so stay tuned for those. Just think a week from this upcoming Monday, we will be only two months away from the Kentucky Derby! A full recap of this past weekends races will be up on Monday.
