LEXINGTON, Ky. – My Boy Jack will remain stabled at Keeneland until the coming weekend as trainer Keith Desormeaux begins to finalize his Kentucky Derby plans for the Lexington Stakes winner.
My Boy Jack, up in the final strides Saturday to defeat Telekinesis in the Grade 3 Lexington at Keeneland, will give Desormeaux a Derby starter for the third straight year, following Exaggerator (second in 2016) and Sonneteer (16th in 2017).
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Horsepower.
Robert and Lawana Low have got it – whether it’s the couple’s trucking company or their undefeated Kentucky Derby hopeful Magnum Moon.
Churchill Downs is the next stop for Magnum Moon after he ran his record to 4 for 4 with his Saturday win in the Grade 1, $1 million Arkansas Derby. The horse was bright and alert Sunday morning at Oaklawn, where he rolled out of the stable area just after 6:30 a.m. to catch a flight to Florida.

With Saturday's final two Road to the Kentucky Derby races, plus the defection of Sunland Derby winner Runaway Ghost owing to injury, the potential Derby field is now set, with the current bottom level for making the 20-horse field a record 39 points.
The Kentucky Derby is May 5 at Churchill Downs.
Much can and likely will change over the next two-plus weeks, but at the moment Firenze Fire is 20th on the list with 39 points. Combatant, ranked 21st with 32 points, is on the bubble.
