All's quiet on Derby front

Here we go again. The so-called most exciting two minutes in sport is almost upon us, as a full field of twenty horses looks highly likely for this Saturday's Kentucky Derby. Yet, apart from avid readers of the Daily Racing Form (US/Canada circulation 70,000) nobody (249.93 million people in North America, alone) has any idea of what lies ahead, which sadly is typical of the way in which the sport of Kings is promoted in North America.

Fear not, though, faithfull readers of Real Racing. For this Friday's Armchair Guide will provide TV viewers with the ultimate insightful guide to the Run for the Roses. And, quite possibly, the winner, too.

So stay tuned.
