This Saturday, May 1st, 2021 we have the 147th Kentucky Derby. Bet on Kentucky Derby racebooks online above. Hall of fame trainer Bob Baffert usually has a couple of horses. That are considered contenders heading into the Kentucky Derby. This year, due to injuries. He has only one horse participating in the Derby, but that could change on Tuesday if Hozier, who failed to qualify for the Derby, gets one of the spots left open by one of the horses that had to withdraw from the event.
Baffert confirmed the news, saying, “Not sure if running. Possible.” He added that a weekend workout at Santa Anita would be the signal to tell him whether the Pioneerof the Nile colt will be entered to run May 1 at Churchill Downs. Game time decision?
Hozier picked up 20 qualifying points from his second-place finish March 13. In the Rebel Stakes, Hozier would be 21st on the list of active possibilities for the Derby. That means he still needs one of the horses ahead of him. This to be withdrawn from the race to get into the field of 20. Dream Shake (18th) and Get Her Number (20th), both also based in California, are still not confirmed to be among the names in the entry box at Tuesday’s deadline.

Even if Hozier ends up getting a spot in the Derby. There is a possibility that he may not participate in it.
“Not sure what we are doing,” Baffert said. “We just wanted to be on (the) list (to) have that option.”
Last month, Hozier finished last at the Arkansas Derby, which prevented him from getting any more points towards qualifying for the Derby.
Baffert, who will be trying to set a record with a seventh win at the Kentucky Derby. Is represented in the main field by Medina Spirit, who finished second as the odds-on favorite this month in the Santa Anita Derby. Which horse will take it all?
