Saturday’s $1.5 million, Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park has drawn a strong field befitting its status as a top-tier Road to the Kentucky Derby qualifier worth 100-50-25-15-10 points to the top five finishers.

Which horse is most likely to prevail in Saturday’s $1.5 million Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park? History can help guide us toward the answer. Analysis of the last 20 editions of the Arkansas Derby produced five positive handicapping angles that can be used to determine the strongest contenders in this year’s renewal.
