Arlington, VA - Advanced Targeting Corporation gives the top statistical nod to Arkansas Derby winner Curlin who has lately been a racing beast and is trained by the hottest trainer in the nation.

The following predictions were compiled using ATC's Highly Integrated Targeting System (HITS). HITS was used last year to win back-to-back-to-back fantasy sports competitions. The HITS system has taken into account 10 levels of analysis to produce this year's Kentucky Derby results.
Race 10/ Grade 1 133 Kentucky Derby
TOP THREE PICKS per HITS ANALYSIS
1. Curlin/ Total Points: 197 - A stat monster/undefeated.
2. Scat Daddy/ Total Points: 189 - Doing everything right.
3. Nobiz Like Shobiz/ Total Points: 166 - Super strong.
The final pre-race odds for the Kentucky Derby will likely give the nod to Street Sense (HITS Total Points: 149). Street Sense is certainly the horse to fear for many reasons, not-the-least of which is the fact that HITS gives the nod to Street Sense for 'fastest horse.' However, due to a number of historical factors and the fact that Street Sense has a rather low earnings report for 2007, HITS has not included the horse in its top three projection.
UPDATE: Saturday Morning
Statistical Overall Best ALL Races (excluding the actual derby): EINSTEIN (HITS Total Points: 140.5) in the 9th
