Suddenbreakingnews is another blue-collar type who usually shows up. The late-runner was a bit of a disappointment when fifth in the GII Rebel S., but rebounded with a second-place finish in the GI Arkansas Derby. The difference between the two races was the pace, as it was much faster in the Arkansas Derby. He probably can't win the GI Kentucky Derby, but his best shot will come if they fly up front early.
