Departing finished 3rd at this year’s all important Louisiana Derby before going on to win the Illinois Derby.
He has visited the winner’s circle in four of his last five races, making Departing a “must have” for a “place” bet. Expect his speed to match up well with the rest of the Preakness Stakes field.
Despite the Illinois Derby win, Departing is yet to win a major race. In fact, his Louisiana Derby 3rd place finish may be his most impressive showing to date.
Rain could prove to be a factor Saturday and this will not bode well for Departing.
