Ladies and Gentlemen, we are only 19 days away from Kentucky Derby 148. For the first time in three years the Churchill Downs grandstands will be full for the first Saturday in May. The buzz around the city of Louisville is palpable as the 20-horse Kentucky Derby field nears completion.
Saturday afternoon Tawny Port won the Grade III Lexington Stakes, the final prep race on the Road to the Kentucky Derby, with Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard at Keeneland. The victory gave the Jeff Ruby Steaks runner-up 20 points to solidify its spot in the field for Kentucky Derby 148.
