The road to the 2024 Kentucky Derby continues this Saturday, April 6 as the top thoroughbred horses compete in the 2024 Santa Anita Derby. Live coverage begins at 7:00 PM ET on CNBC and Peacock. 100-50-25-15-10 qualifying points will be awarded to the top five finishers for this year’s Kentucky Derby which takes place on May 4.
Wynstock and Imagination, two Bob Baffert trainees are expected to be contenders in Saturday’s race, however, they will not be eligible to run in the Kentucky Derby due to Baffert’s suspension from Churchill Downs-owned tracks. Wynstock won last month’s G2 San Felipe while Imagination finished first in the G2 Los Alamitos Futurity in December.
Six horses enter Saturday’s race with Kentucky Derby eligibility. Stronghold, who won the G3 Sunland Derby in February, and Tapalo, a New York-bred who races for trainer John Sadler and owner Hronis Racing training team, are among the favorites.
