Rock Hard Ten was scratched from today's 130th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, but Imperialism and The Cliff's Edge made a run for it. Lionheart led for the most of the race but The Cliff's Edge and Smarty Jones (6 for 6 going in) who stay tied for 16th and 17th place brought up the rear. Finally Smarty Jones finished it with the big win from behind and goes down in history as being one of only 2 undefeated horses to go into The Derby. The other was Seattle Slew and he won the Triple Crown. Here are the dates for the following races:
Kentucky Derby - May 1, Churchill Downs Lexington, KY 1mi
Preakness Stakes - May 15, Pimlico Downs Baltimore, MD 1&1/4mi
