The Object Is Roses

Schulhofer is itching for redemption on Derby Day. He started the winter with three Derby horses. Beautifully bred Scan, a promising colt who's a son of Mr. Prospector, lost his chance for the roses when he finished fifth in the Santa Anita Derby, 11¼ lengths behind Dinard. Then Cahill Road limped out of the Wood. All Schulhofer has left now is Fly So Free. "With all that speed in the race, everything will be set up for him just right," he says. "Don't worry about it. I will certainly win the Kentucky Derby."

That may be so, but not in this corner: Dinard's the one.
