Luis Saez To Ride Pletcher-Trained Unbridled Honor In Preakness Sponsored by:

Todd Pletcher, Thoroughbred racing s newest Hall of Fame trainer, will take aim at the May 15 Preakness Stakes (G1) – the only Triple Crown race he has yet to win – with Unbridled Honor.
Pletcher s election to the Hall of Fame at the National Museum of Racing in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. was announced Wednesday. The 53-year-old, who gained entry in his first year of eligibility, holds the record for career-earnings ($405,791,077) and ranks seventh all-time with 5,118 wins, including 708 graded-stakes victories. He has saddled two Kentucky Derby (G1) winners – Super Saver (2010) and Always Dreaming (2017) – and three Belmont Stakes (G1) champions – filly Rags to Riches (2007), Palace Malice (2013) and Tapwrit (2017).
The road to the
2021 Kentucky Derby, which returned to its typical schedule, included 35 qualifying races that were run between Sept. 5, 2020. and April 10, 2021.
During the points era, the Derby results have become remarkably consistent. The favorite has been a significant factor in the finish of the race, with the winner usually racing as part of the early pace. Every horse to cross the finish line first has had a victory in one of the 100-point qualifying races and, except for last year’s extended Derby trail, was unbeaten during his 3-year-old campaign. Occasionally, a long shot has broken into the exacta, trifecta or superfecta.
