Journalism may be in the record books as the seventh straight beaten favorite in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, but that doesn't mean trainer Michael McCarthy has lost any faith in his Grade 1-winning 3-year-old colt.
Each week, members of the national media vote on the nation's top contenders on the Triple Crown trail in the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) Top Thoroughbred Poll.
While the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve has the Longines Kentucky Oaks, the Preakness Stakes has the George E. Mitchell Black-Eyed Susan Stakes.
