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.
