This is the 4th of 7 Kentucky Derby preps on Seeing Stars! Any points your horses earn in this race will be put toward a place in the starting gate of the Kentucky Derby on May 7. Only 14 horses will be allowed to enter on Derby Day, so enter as many preps as possible to build up point counts and stats! GI and under horses may enter! GI - GIII horses will incur high weight imposts to level the field.

Any horses that competed in the 2011 - 2015 Triple Crown trails are ineligible to enter this race. See this thread for a full list of ineligible horses.

Rules
+ Fill out the whole form
+ Up to three horses per person, will race AT A MAX OF 14 HORSES

PLEASE NOTE. When entering, COUNT THE HORSES IN FRONT OF YOU. Only 14 horses max are allowed per race - please make sure when you enter, you are not over the limit. I do not want to have DQ anyone for any reason.

Results:
1st - 5 points to add to one stat of your choice
2nd - 4 points to add to one stat of your choice
3rd - 3 points to add to one stat of your choice
4th - 2 points for add to one stat of your choice
5th - 1 point to add to one stat of your choice

------------

Derby Points:
1st - 10 pts
2nd - 4 pts
3rd - 2 pts
4th - ? - 1 pt

----------------------------------

It's a cloudy and cold day here on the East Coast and while the snow has all but melted, the track is still feeling the effects of the blizzard as 14 colts stride out onto the dirt for this year's Florida Derby. Skeptic returns once again as the favorite after a three race win streak was snapped in Dubai, and he will face off against horses he's all beaten before as top three year olds Rancor, Warlord and American Pharaoh all return after wins or close seconds in their previous races. Ezio returns to the fold after two weeks off with stakes winner Reprieve to try his luck now on the Derby trail, along with returning runners, Nizmo, Bells o War, Dortmund and Chaos all coming back for more after close finishes in their previous tries. The betting public isn't as sure of two year champion Skeptic this time around but he'll still lead the field onto the track and into the gate with his head held high as 14 colts try for their chance at Derby points in this year's Florida Derby.

The Road to the Kentucky Derby continues now on SS!
