Durante did not proceed on the Road to the Kentucky Derby and instead competed mainly in allowance and starter allowance races during 2022 and early 2023, moving from California to the East Coast in the summer of ’23.
In October, Durante made his first appearance in a graded stakes since the 2021 Los Alamitos Futurity a successful one, taking the Grade 3 Bold Ruler Stakes at Belmont at the Big A by 2 ¾ lengths. That was his fourth win in five starts since moving to trainer David Jacobson’s barn.
