The 2014 Kentucky Derby is upon us and, like most years, it presents a tremendous challenge for horseplayers. The question I answer about each entrant: is the horse a contender, a borderline player, or a complete toss? I take numerous factors into account to help answer that question. Look for this analysis here at agameofskill.com on Thursday.
