Preview: The reigning Horse of the Year tasted defeat for the first time in his 10-race career with a third-place finish in the Arkansas Derby against competition could be considered no better than modest. Tabbed by some as the Derby pre-race favorite before the Arkansas. Trainer Bill Mott will have his work cut out for him as he prepares Favorite Trick to become the first Breeders' Cup juvenile winner to capture the Derby, while gunning for his first trip to the winner's circle at Churchill on Derby day himself. Has only races twice as a three-year-old, including just a seven furlong victory in the Swale Stakes.
