Arkansas Derby: Solid, consistent play

Oaklawn Park Race 11

4 - Suddenbreakingnews

This 3-year-old gelding has been the face of consistency, finishing in the exacta 6 out of his 7 career starts. Last time out he finished fifth in the Rebel Stakes, but ran into trouble from an outside slot. Today he returns to a nice inside post and should get a solid pace to help set up his late closing kick. Suddenbreakingnews has the pedigree, not like others in the field, to get the 1 1/8 mile distance with A.P. Indy and Afleet Alex in the family tree. We should get a nice price on a very consistent face. Look for breakingnews down the stretch in the Arkansas Derby.
