TimeformUS handicapper David Aragona highlights some contenders on Saturday’s card at Aqueduct.
Saturday’s Grade 2, $400,000 San Felipe at Santa Anita is perhaps the most hotly anticipated of all the Derby preps contested so far this season. It’s the first time that we will get to see two of the early favorites for the first Saturday in May square off in the same race. Last year’s two-time Grade 1-winning two-year-old star Bolt d’Oro takes on the undefeated McKinzie, as well as 6 other rivals.

The Grade 2, $400,000 Tampa Bay Derby will be contested for the 38th time on Saturday, offering 50 Kentucky Derby qualifying points to the winner. The field is led by Flameaway, winner of the Sam F. Davis, but this race came up much tougher than that local prep. Tiz Mischief and Untamed Domain ship in from the Gulfstream Park area, and the blazingly fast World of Trouble attempts to stretch out in distance for the first time.
Although the Gotham, the Tampa Bay Derby, and the San Felipe will command much of the racing spotlight Saturday as major Kentucky Derby preps, other stakes across the country offer as much appeal from a wagering perspective.
