LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Churchill Downs expert Darren Rogers talked Derby on Friday with WDRB in the Morning.
He shared his picks for the 148th Kentucky Derby. He said there is a horse or two that are separating themselves from the pack to stand out as potential winners, while some others he's not too keen on.
"The one horse that I was not the keenest on that I had a high opinion on a month ago was Smile Happy," Rogers said. "I'm not certain Smile Happy is ready to deliver a peak performance, at least not this weekend."
The two horses that have caught his eye for the Derby are Chad Brown-trained Zandon and Steve Asmussen-trained Epicenter. Another horse that caught his eye, which is more of a longshot, is Ken McPeek-trained Tiz The Bomb.
