Race Record: (3) 2-1-0
Earnings: $274,400
Breeding: Tale of Ekati – Catch the Moon
Owner: Brad Grady
Trainer: Joe Sharp
Last Race: Grade 2 Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds, Finished 1st
Analysis: He jumped onto the Kentucky Derby trail with a big win in the Risen Star, and now he’ll have another opportunity to impress us in the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby this weekend. The race came up extremely light for a 100-point prep race, and Girvin will like be a heavy favorite. He’s a lock to make the Kentucky Derby, no matter what happens on Saturday.
