17. Petrov
Derby Points/Rank: 13 – 23rd
Race Record: (5) 1-3-0
Earnings: $229,800
Breeding: Flatter – Saracina
Owner: Rialto Racing Stables and Southern Springs Stables
Trainer: Ron Moquett
Last Race: Grade 2 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park, Finished 4th
Analysis: He somehow finished fourth in the Rebel, even though watching live, it looked as if he’d finished third. He regressed off of his huge Southwest Stakes effort, which is unfortunate, because that kind of effort would have won the Rebel. He will need to rebound next time out to be taken seriously again, but he has a good enough resume to stay ranked for now.
