The post position draw for the Kentucky Derby solidified Journalism as the horse to watch, with a betting line of 3-1 after drawing post eight. Trainer Mike McCarthy expressed satisfaction with the draw, noting that Journalism's strengths as a stalking horse will be beneficial in the race's tactical nature. With significant competition, including Sovereignty and Sandman as the second and third favorites, the Derby promises excitement. Baeza, a potential contestant dependent on scratch circumstances, represents the volatility typical of horse racing.
"I'm very pleased, what's not to like?" Journalism's trainer Mike McCarthy said, emphasizing confidence in his horse's preparation for the race.
"...we'll just play the break," McCarthy states regarding his horse's tactical approach in the Kentucky Derby, highlighting a careful strategy for moving through the field.
