Derby Day Preview: Majestic Prince Heads Small Field
ED BOWMAKER weighs eight 3-year-olds at Churchill Downs with Majestic Prince as the top choice in the 1969 Kentucky Derby field. Vaestic Prince is the 6 to 5 favorite, Top Knight drew post No. 1, Dike looms as a pace option, and Ocean Roar is a rank outsider. The piece recalls Aristides and Native Dancer lineage while noting weather risk and past Derby favorites, with a cautious pick of Prince Majesty by two lengths.
