Racing Dudes Top 20 Kentucky Derby Rankings #9

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.
