SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Trainer Todd Pletcher has confirmed plans for his 3-year-olds, with Money Moves going to next Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs and Dr Post, the Belmont Stakes runner-up, pointing to the Grade 2, $150,000 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga the same day.

Money Moves, who will be ridden by Javier Castellano, becomes the 18^th confirmed starter for the Kentucky Derby. Money Moves, who has never run in a stakes race, has no qualifying points for the Derby, but points don’t matter if 20 horses or fewer are entered in the race.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Mother Nature fought the Law and the Law won.

Before the rain came Saturday morning in upstate New York, Tiz the Law completed his major preparation for next Saturday’s Kentucky Derby by working a fast five furlongs in 58.96 seconds over a fast Saratoga main track.

The two graded stakes for 2-year-olds at Los Alamitos will be held two weeks apart for the first time in several years.

The Grade 1 Starlet Stakes for fillies at 1 1/16 miles is scheduled for Dec. 5, while the Grade 2 Los Alamitos Futurity at 1 1/16 miles will be Dec. 19. Racing secretary Bob Moreno said last week that the position of the $300,000 Starlet two weeks before the $200,000 Futurity may allow a filly to run in both races.

Virtually all of the top jockeys in North America will be part of the daily riding colony at Kentucky Downs, the turf-only track that will host a six-day meet Sept. 7-16.
