LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Blazing Sevens has been withdrawn from the Kentucky Derby, allowing Jace's Road into the 20-horse field for the 149th running on May 6 at Churchill Downs. The Chad Brown-trained colt was tied for 17th with 46 points after his third-place finish in the Grade 1 Blue Grass at Keeneland on April 8. Jace's Road placement gives Louisville-born trainer Brad Cox four Derby entries, with Angel of Empire, Hit Show and Verifying, which finished 5¾ lengths ahead of Blazing Sevens in the Blue Grass. Jace's Road is coming off a third-place run in the Louisiana Derby on March 25.
