Grande Kentucky Derby Prediction and Pick

Grande is a longshot to win the Derby, but the arrow is clearly pointed up. With a Hall of Fame trainer and jockey at the helm, Grande makes more an intriguing contender to win the Kentucky Derby. They've flashed the kind of speed you need to win at Churchill Downs, so Grande could be worth taking a shot on at 20-1 odds.
