gray breidenbach- Always Dreaming Wins 143rd Kentucky Derby

Always Dreaming wins 143rd Kentucky Derby.  Before Always Dreaming came through the slop at Churchill Downs to beat Lookin at Lee by 2 3/4 lengths, there was concern about his behavior this week. When trainer, Todd Pletcher, sent Always Dreaming to the track last Sunday, the horse was so eager to train. He became difficult for his exercise rider Adele Bellinger to control,.  The concern in a situation like that is the horse will exert too much energy and leave his race on the track in the morning.  He clearly wanted to run, but its critical  for these animals between jumping out of their skin and being relaxed enough to handle all the issues a 1 1/4-mile race in front of 158,070 people.
While Always Dreaming has the ideal running style for a Triple Crown winner, looking a lot like American Pharoah on Saturday, the Triple Crown shifts to Baltimore now.
