There’s nine entered for tomorrow’s Florida Derby as Dunkirk faces off with Quality Road and Theregoesjojo in an attempt to earn enough money to qualify for the starting line-up in this year’s Kentucky Derby.
Dunkirk, who didn’t race at two, will need to win tomorrow’s race to gain the lion’s share of $450,000 and virtually guarantee him a spot on the first Saturday in May.
Trained by Todd Pletcher, who has entered Europe to aid Dunkirk in his quest, is still looking for his first Kentucky Derby winner.
With only $43K in earning, Dunkirk appears to be facing exclusion but don’t count on it. His two races at Gulfstream were spectacular and this son of Unbridled’s Song looks like he can run all day.
Lookout!
