Storm the Court at the 2019 Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita

Barbara D. Livingston Eclipse Awards champ Storm the Court tuned up for the Arkansas Derby with a five-furlong work at Santa Anita on Wednesday.

Storm the Court, the champion 2-year-old male of 2019 who was sixth in the Kentucky Derby on Sept. 5, is in the midst of a brief rest and is expected to resume his career in the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby on turf Nov. 28 at Del Mar.

Earlier this month, Storm the Court was sent to a farm near Santa Anita for a rest, but trainer Peter Eurton has brought the colt to his stable.

The $250,000 Hollywood Derby is run at 1 1/8 miles and would be Storm the Court’s second start on grass.
