This may be a long shot, or maybe not, but Australia’s Damian Lane could win the Gr 1 Kentucky Derby this year.
Yep, I hear you laughing, but if the dominoes fall into place he could.
This is how.
Tomorrow he rides the $2.90 favourite CAFE PHAROAH (American Pharoah-Mary’s Follies) in the Gr 1 Japan Dirt Derby.

The colt has an amazing turn of foot and he should keep his unbeaten record which is a trio of impressive wins thus far, in tact by winning this race.
And now with the Gr 1 Kentucky Derby on in September, and should the pandemic not restrict flights, he could quite viably, land a spot in the Kentucky Derby field.
Lane who has an astonishing affinity with him, would more than likely be asked to go with him.
It could happen.
