Kentucky Derby field taking shape after weekend prep races (The Associated Press)

In just over an hour, in three races from coast to coast, the field for the Kentucky Derby mostly came into focus. ”Anytime you’ve won one of these major preps, it puts you in the top area,” trainer Todd Pletcher said Sunday, a day after Outwork outlasted Trojan Nation in the $1 million Wood Memorial at Aqueduct and clinched a spot in the Derby field. Over at Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky, about a half-hour later Saturday, Brody’s Cause pulled off a come-from-behind victory in the Blue Grass and earned his spot in the Derby.
