My Early Five Picks to Win the 2023 Kentucky Derby

1) Forte +400

He won this last race as a two-year old in the 2022 Breeders' Cup Juvenile on Nov. 4 and he placed first in the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes on March 11 of this year at Gulfstream Park.

2) Instant Coffee +1800

As a three-year old, the Kentucky-bred colt won in late January at Fair Grounds Race Course in the Grade 3 Lecomte Stakes. He is scheduled to appear in the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby on March 25.

3) Red Route One +2800

After a pair of second place finishes at Oaklawn Park this winter as this three-year colt, he is also headed to the Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds. He has covered 1 1/16 miles on dirt in six of seven races in his early career. 

4) Rocket Can +3300

He was 8-1 on the morning line odds of the Fountain of Youth Stakes and he took second after Forte. Sired by Into Mischief, he went 1 1/16 miles in his last four races at Churchill Downs and Gulfstream Park.

5) Hit Show +5000

He was first at Aqueduct in the Grade 3 Withers Stakes on Feb.11 as a three-year old. Trained by Brad Cox and ridden by jockey Manuel Franco, the son of Candy Ride is listed as a probable entry for the Grade 2 Wood Memorial also at Aqueduct on April 8.
