5 horses have been added to the Kentucky Derby 2023 leaderboard after Saturday’s Grade 3 Holy Bull at Gulfstream Park.
The winner, Rocket Can, picked up 20 factors and joined the leaderboard at No. 3. The second- via fifth-place finishers picked up 8-6-4-2 factors, respectively. They’re, so as, Shadow Dragon, West Coast Cowboy, Legacy Isle and Il Miracolo.
Not one of the horses had earned qualifying factors earlier than Saturday’s race.
One other factors prep on Saturday was the Robert B. Lewis (G3) at Santa Anita, the place all 4 entrants have been skilled by Bob Baffert. Due to his suspension by Churchill Downs Inc., horses he trains are ineligible for Derby qualifying factors. Until Baffert wins his authorized effort to have that suspension overturned, his should be transferred to different trainers by Feb. 28 to be eligible for Derby factors.
The Withers (G3), one other factors prep, was scheduled for Saturday at Aqueduct however was canceled due to winter climate. That race now shall be held this coming Saturday.
Different factors races on Saturday are the Sam F. Davis (G3) at Tampa Bay Downs and the El Camino Actual Derby at Golden Gate Fields.
Right here is the whole, up to date Kentucky Derby leaderboard.
