Kentucky Derby 2018 Scouting Report: Eastern Division III

Good Magic has led the Eastern Division of the Kentucky Derby 2018 Scouting Report since he won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile almost four months ago. Since then, other Derby contenders have come and gone while we wait for the 2-year-old champion to return.

Good Magic has worked on a weekly basis since Jan. 21, with trainer Chad Brown preparing the son of Curlin for his debut in the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth on March 3 at Gulfstream Park.

In the East, the gap between Good Magic and the rest of the contenders has seemingly grown wider, so the expectations surrounding his return have also grown significantly.
