Top ranked three-year old Dortmund has his legendary conditioner dreaming like a 1950's television set. Highly acclaimed three-time Kentucky Derby winning trainer Bob Baffert may have the top-ranked contender and appears loaded with the second ranked runner as well. But ask him and he keeps it all in perspective. "My owners are dreaming about the Kentucky Derby in technicolor, but my dreams are black and white," says Baffert. "I have came into the Derby loaded before and didn't win. You just never know what is going to happen so we like to approach it low key. I am thinking I am going in at 10-1 and keeping my expectations realistic."
