One of the favorites that is ready and geared to race with the best of them this year is Triple Crown prospect American Lion. The only two time winner of the 1 1/4 – mile Breeders’ Cup Classic is his sire, Tiznow, and his son seems to have got this racing skill from American Lion. American Lion is considered one of the online betting favorites to win the Kentucky Derby in 2010.

WinStar Farm and the Dr. William Lockridge bred American Lion, horse betting favorite. He was trained by Eoin Harty and comes out of the Storm Cat mare Storm Tide. He is mounted by Julien Leparoux, who was the 2009 Eclipse winning jockey. His first three races were on synthetic tracks, and his debut race he was the runner up.

The seven furlong Hollywood Prevue was won by him in November where the race favorite was upset by him on the final furlong of the race. The victory was obtained by him in that $100,000 venue and then a late charge was held off at the Get My Fix venue in the final stretch. He has been a fierce competitor in races since then and has a chance to be a classic candidate for this next year.

The next big challenge for American Lion is the Triple Crown as he gains more recognition in the racing world. It will be a testament to his great lineage and great trainers if he is able to distinguish himself in the Triple Crown line.

Some intense strength workouts have gone through American Lion, the horse betting icon by trainer Eoin Harty, and it is looked to be ready for the remainder of the racing season.
