Re: when are the tune up races for Kentucky Derby

One big tune up race was this past saturday at gulfstream called the fla derby.

The winner is going into the derby for sure, and the horse who finished 2nd is on the bubble.

The other two big preps are the SA Derby and Wood Memorial (like RS said) both run this saturday.

Also, Keeneland runs a race called the Blue Grass, which takes place on April 11th, that is the other big prep for the KYD.

Charitable Man is the horse to watch in the Blue Grass if he is back from the injury list and fit (first or second) he will be the only horse that will be able to fight against Quality Road in the Derby....
