Tampa Bay Downs Race 10
8 - McCraken
The Road to the Kentucky Derby goes through Tampa Bay this Saturday and that's where we meet McCraken. This three-year-old is the race favorite and for good reason. He is undefeated in his first three career starts and has shown a strong turn of foot, running down all of his competition to date. Today's Sam F. Davis Stakes has a lot of speed signed on that should set the race up perfectly for the favorite. McCarken already has the highest speed figures in the field, along with a powerful routing pedigree (Ghostzapper and Seeking the Gold), that make him easily the best bet in Tampa on Saturday.
