Itsmyluckyday is a Lawyer Ron and Viva La Slew colt. He won the Gulfstream Park Derby and the Holy Bull Stakes (G3) and finished second in his most recent race, the Florida Derby (G1). He's spent his time since the Florida Derby working out at Calder Race Track preparing for the Kentucky Derby.
"He is scheduled to leave Friday, the 26th," assistant trainer Frankie Perez said. "I'll be making the trip with him and will be watching him all the way."
"Just walking a horse like him through the barn is the best feeling there is," Perez said. "Knowing that right there, in my hands, I'm holding a horse that could be a champion and is worth millions. Not everybody gets to experience that. I'll sleep right there next to him if I have to. I don't care where I stay. Wherever he goes, that's where you'll find me."
Itsmyluckyday we have an eye on, but whether or not he makes the shortlist will depend on his post position.
