Just Steel
It's been over two decades since Wayne Lukas last trained a Kentucky Derby-winning horse, but this could be the year it all comes together for the veteran trainer. Sired by 2018 winner Justify and trained by Lukas, Just Steel is poised to run away with this year's race as a 20-1 underdog.
Twice already, Just Steel has reached triple-digits with his speed figure, including his 100 figure in the Arkansas Derby at the end of March. Granted, Just Steel finished second to Muth in that race, but it's a promising indicator of what to expect at Churchill Downs.
We've seen Just Steel thrive under any conditions. He'll be ready, from an ideal post position, to make a run for the roses in Louisville.
