Good Magic was coming in at 8/1 odds of winning the 2018 Kentucky Derby early on.

WHY GOOD MAGIC CAN WIN THIS YEAR'S KENTUCKY DERBY

The third start of his 2-year-old campaign was the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, which Good Magic won and parlayed into the Eclipse Award for top juvenile male. The Kentucky Derby will be the third start of his 3-year-old season, and he looks to be on a similar trajectory.

WHY GOOD MAGIC CAN'T WIN THIS YEAR'S KENTUCKY DERBY

His Beyer Speed Figure numbers this year are a cut below the best in the field. The Blue Grass victory was nice, but how strong was that field?

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING

Living up to the hype in the Blue Grass Stakes and his recent award, trainer Chad Brown:

"I think 'relieved' is the better word," said Brown, who captured the Blue Grass Stakes for the first time in his two-time Eclipse Award-winning career. "He deservedly was awarded the champion 2-year-old, but you have to come back and train on at 3 and show everyone he did deserve the award. I'm so proud of this horse.

"He ran maybe a little short fitness-wise in his last race and came back and redeemed himself today. He put himself right at the top of the class again."
