On that level playing field it is only the quality of one's research, the horses themselves and the smile of lady luck that matters. Nothing else.

Essential Quality is expected to be the first gray horse to go off as the Kentucky Derby favorite in 25 years. A gray horse hasn’t won the Derby since Giacomo in 2005, and only eight grays have won it since 1930.

According to historians and experts, there are just fewer gray horses compared to more traditional chestnut, bay, brown and black horses, and therefore fewer chances to win the sport’s biggest race.

...like this guy. I was really liking his chances but last Sunday he had a really lackluster workout.

He might be a better prospect for the Belmont. Don't sleep on Hot Rod Charlie in the Derby.
