A winner of three graded stakes earlier this year at Santa Anita; the Grade III Robert B. Lewis on Feb. 7, the Grade II San Felipe on March 7 and the Grade I Santa Anita Derby April 4, Dortmund was undefeated in six starts heading into the Kentucky Derby, where he finished third, beaten three lengths, by stablemate and eventual Triple Crown winner American Pharoah.

With six wins from eight starts and earnings of $1,579,400, Dortmund can be expected to go to the early lead and improve his position with regular rider Martin Garcia aloft.
