The mutuel field, the 24th or “all others” option, closed as a lukewarm favorite over Authentic and Tiz the Law after three days of betting into Pool 3 of the 2020 Kentucky Derby Future Wager. The pool opened Friday at noon Eastern and closed Sunday evening when coinciding with the only futures pool toward the 2020 Kentucky Oaks.
ARCADIA, Calif. – Authentic and Honor A. P., the one-two finishers in the San Felipe Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita, both emerged from the race well and are scheduled to meet again in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on April 4, their trainers said Sunday morning here at Santa Anita.
The Santa Anita Derby, which has a purse of $1 million, will be their final prep before the Kentucky Derby on May 2 at Churchill Downs.
OLDSMAR, Fla. – Fourteen of the last 20 winners of the Tampa Bay Derby have run back in the Kentucky Derby. Destin in 2016 was the only one of them not to have a race in between, and he finished sixth behind Nyquist prior to losing a tight photo in the Belmont Stakes.
Trainer Juan Carlos Avila, a relative newcomer to the American racing scene, will be looking to do even better when King Guillermo goes eight weeks without a race. The Uncle Mo colt will train into the May 2 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs after posting a runaway victory Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs.
Mischevious Alex came out of his victory in Saturday’s Grade 3 Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct in good order and all options are open for him including potentially training up to the Kentucky Derby on May 2, trainer John Servis said Sunday morning.
OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Mischevious Alex doesn’t know his name is spelled incorrectly. He doesn’t know that he’s not really bred to be a Kentucky Derby horse.
Mischevious Alex does know how to win, though, a trait he demonstrated for the third consecutive time Saturday at Aqueduct, taking the Grade 3, $300,000 Gotham Stakes by two lengths. Fellow South Florida shippers Untitled and Attachment Rate, separated by a head, finished second and third, respectively.
ARCADIA, Calif. – Authentic is ready to spring forward.
On the final day of standard time, the unbeaten 3-year-old colt continued to enhance his Kentucky Derby credentials with a front-running victory over several high-class rivals in the Grade 2, $401,000 San Felipe Stakes for 3-year-olds on Saturday at Santa Anita.
OLDSMAR, Fla. – Just imagine how they’ll react if they win the next Derby on their schedule.
The connections of King Guillermo launched into a celebration of the most boisterous kind when the Uncle Mo colt sped to victory Saturday in the Tampa Bay Derby, returning the second-biggest price in the 40-year history of the Tampa Bay Downs showcase while earning his way into the May 2 Kentucky Derby.
Churchill Downs officials announced Friday that wagering on O Seraphina (No. 17) in the Kentucky Oaks Future Wager will not be accepted. The filly was reported by trainer Joe Sharp to have suffered a minor injury since an easy win in a Feb. 22 maiden race at Oaklawn Park.
The announcement was made shortly before noon Eastern, when the first of three days of wagering into the Oaks pool and Kentucky Derby Pool 3 began. The Oaks pool closes Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, 30 minutes after Pool 3 closes.
Storm the Court won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, which brought him the Eclipse Award as champion 2-year-old male, eight days before Authentic ever raced.
Honor A. P. crushed maidens authoritatively on Oct. 13, 13 days before Thousand Words made his debut.
