Creator and Suddenbreakingnews both got good set ups, but they ran the best races.

Cupid got kind of bounced around at the start, but ultimately didn't have it chasing a hot pace. Hats off to Creator! Ky Derby soon!

Since I made all my Derby bets $ on Creator gonna leave Nyquist off tickets. He is another Verrazano, gonna hit Derby wall and finish 7th.

Asmussen said Creator flies to Kentucky tomorrow, goes straight to Churchill Downs. #derbywatch
