JUSTIFY
Unbeaten colt became the fifth Bob Baffert-trained Derby winner, and the previous four all added the Preakness.
Owner: China Horse Club, Head of Plains Partners, Starlight Racing & WinStar Farm; Trainer: Bob Baffert; Jockey: Mike Smith
Pedigree: by Scat Daddy-Stage Magic, by Ghostzapper
GOOD MAGIC
Last year’s champion two-year-old colt took a run at Justify in the Derby but had to settle for second.
Owner: e Five Racing Thoroughbreds & Stonestreet Stables; Trainer: Chad Brown; Jockey: Jose Ortiz
Pedigree: by Curlin-Glinda the Good, by Hard Spun
QUIP
Tampa Bay Derby (G2) winner and Arkansas Derby (G1) runner-up had ample points to get in Derby 144, but connections (partially overlapping with Justify’s ownership) wanted a fresh horse for the Preakness.
Owner: WinStar Farm, China Horse Club & SF Racing; Trainer: Rodolphe Brisset; Jockey: Florent Geroux
Pedigree: by Distorted Humor-Princess Ash, by Indian Charlie
BRAVAZO
Risen Star (G2) victor got nothing out of his strange-trip eighth in the Louisiana Derby (G2), so his sixth behind Justify in the Kentucky Derby was a solid effort that could set him up for better in Baltimore.
Owner: Calumet Farm; Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas; Jockey: Luis Saez
Pedigree: by Awesome Again-Tiz o’Gold, by Cee’s Tizzy
SPORTING CHANCE
Hopeful (G1) scorer, who lacked sufficient points to make the Derby field, finished a troubled fourth in the Pat Day Mile (G3) on the undercard.
Owner: Robert C. Baker & William L. Mack; Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas; Jockey: Luis Contreras
Pedigree: by Tiznow-Wynning Ride, by Candy Ride
TENFOLD
Fifth in the Arkansas Derby (G1) in just his third career start but plenty of promise in his first two wins.
Owner: Winchell Thoroughbreds; Trainer: Steve Asmussen; Jockey: Ricardo Santana Jr.
Pedigree: by Curlin-Temptress, by Tapit
DIAMOND KING
Parx-based colt captured the Federico Tesio at Laurel to book his spot in the Preakness, but connections cross-entered to the Peter Pan (G3) before deciding in favor of Pimlico.
Owner: Cash Is King, Leonard C. Green & LC Racing; Trainer: John Servis; Jockey: Javier Castellano
Pedigree: by Quality Road-Akron Moon, by Malibu Moon
LONE SAILOR
Louisiana Derby (G2) runner-up comes off an eighth in the Kentucky Derby.
