Remington Park Race 12 {Remington Springboard Mile~1 mile~2 year-old~Stakes}

A great group of nine will go to the gate in this annual Derby prep race.

There is plenty of speedy and forwardly placed types to get this one rolling fast. All of these colts and one gelding will be seeking Kentucky Derby points. Speed numbers are fairly close making it very competitive. It should be a fantastic race to cap off a terrific day of racing.
