Preview: Turned in a surprising win in the Flamingo Stakes at Hialeah. This late Derby nominee will give English-born trainer Graham Motion his first Kentucky Derby starter. The Derby has not been kind to Flamingo Stakes' winners as none have won the Derby since Spectacular Bid in 1979. That string should remain intact this year also. A front runner, whose main asset is his speed but there had been only five gate-to-wire winners in the Derby since 1907.
