After Picking Four
Straight Thoroughbred Stakes Winners This Year...
It is time for the 143rd Run for the Roses, the Kentucky
Derby, Saturday, at Churchill Downs in Louisville ,
Kentucky . Not only is this the greatest two minutes in
sports for the year, but the Derby is the
longest continuous held sporting event in the United States .
The Kentucky Derby is the hardest race to handicap because
of the large field of 20 horses and this year is no exception as there is no
clear favorite. It is further
complicated by the fact few of the top horses ran against each other in the
various Derby
preps.
This year might just be more special because the Coltons
Point Times (CPT) has predicted the winners of four straight major thoroughbred
stakes races this year from around the world.
We accurately picked winners of the Pegasus World Cup Invitational, the
Dubai World Cup, the Santa Anita Derby, and the Bluegrass Stakes.
In the Pegasus it was Arrogate overwhelming the early
favorite California Chrome with Shaman Ghost and Neolithic second and
third. The first three were picked by
the CPT to be in the money. In the Dubai
Arrogate again won after a near disastrous break and stumble at the beginning.
On the West Coast Gormley was the pick for the Santa Anita,
third in the odds for the race, who won at 6-1.
Then there was the Bluegrass Stakes in which the Coltons Point Times
picked Irap to win, at a staggering 31-1 odds.
If you add in the prediction of a Trump victory in the
Presidential race on October 18, 2016, also posted in the Huffington Post, on a
day when Trump was 14% behind in the polls, this could be the sixth straight
accurate prediction.
By the way, the Trump prediction was 22 days before the
election and the CPT might be the only newspaper to predict Trump the winner.
Listen to the drum roll and here is the prediction and our
effort to achieve a streak of picking five straight major thoroughbred stakes
winners for the year.
The winner of the 143rd Kentucky Derby will be...Classic Empire
Second place will be...Always Dreaming
Third place will be...Irap
As for the potential for a Triple Crown winner in 2017, our
prediction is ...No winner
Good luck and keep watching for further predictions of major
events by the CPT.
