14. Petrov

Derby Points/Rank: 4 – 19th

Race Record: (3) 1-2-0

Earnings: $84,800

Breeding: Flatter – Saracina

Owner: Rialto Racing Stables and Southern Springs Stables

Trainer: Ron Moquett

Last Race: Smarty Jones Stakes at Oaklawn Park, Finished 2nd

Analysis: We’ve seen trainer Ron Moquett do well with these types the last two years at Oaklawn Park, and this horse looks to be no different.  In the Smarty Jones Uncontested got an easy lead causing Petrov to basically have to chase him all the way around the track.  It was still a solid race for Petrov even though he didn’t get to run the type of race he wanted to run.
