After months of action on the Road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, all the prep races have been contested and the field is more or less set for the 150th running of the Derby May 4 at Churchill Downs.

The $350,000, Grade 2 VisitLEX Elkhorn Stakes Saturday at Keeneland drew a strong field, with five of the entrants boasting stakes wins in similar races. The Elkhorn is run at the marathon distance of 1 ½ miles on Keeneland’s turf course.
