Three major Kentucky Derby preps take place Saturday around the country, with the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct, Blue Grass at Keeneland, and Santa Anita Derby all offering 100 points to the winner.

Derby Bill’s thoughts:

  • Dream On
    Dream On scores in G3 Penn Mile
    Weather delayed it and scratches damaged it, but Dream On thrived in the G3 Penn Mile all the same, winning by a length Friday at Penn National.
