Kentucky Derby Radar 1, 2023
b'
It is never too early to talk Kentucky Derby. Welcome to the first episode of Past the Wire's Kentucky Derby Radar 1, 2023. On this show trainer Jeff Metz and Jonathan Stettin talk early Derby contenders and pretenders. They talk what to look for, what to avoid, some pitfalls for trainers and more. They run down the top 11 on the Kentucky Derby leaderboard and discuss how the point system plays out for trainers looking to have their horses peak on the first Saturday in May.
Harlocap is the first Bob Baffert runner who has been transferred to another barn in order to be eligible for Kentucky Derby points due to the Churchill Downs house ban and new language in the Triple Crown nomination rules. Harlocap runs for trainer Steve Asmussen in the Risen Star at the Fair Grounds.
