Sole Volante, Ete Indien, 8 Others Complete 2020 Kentucky Derby Betting

In less than two months, the Kentucky Derby will finally start after it was postponed last May. It is now taking the middle jewel of the Triple Crown show, which will commence on September 5, 2020, at Churchill Down. This year, the Derby is featuring 20 horses inside the dirt track comprising Belmont Stakes winners and Derby-prep accomplishers.

In the reports released by the Churchill Downs Inc. last month, the Derby will accept spectators to witness the racing show. However, the capacity is reduced to at least 50% since the audiences should maintain social distancing as part of the rules. In all hospitality areas, the fans can only have limited access to avoid the spread of Coronavirus.

While the Derby is making the best effort to showcase another classic edition of the Run For The Roses amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, the horses are also conditioned to compete. With the ten strongest horses who were initially named to join the event, here are the remaining ten horses that will complete the 2020 Kentucky Derby horse race line up.

Sole Volante

Sole Volante was the  6th placer of the Belmont Stakes last June. He is joining the roster for this year’s Derby edition, and will be ridden by Luca Panici and trained by Patrick L. Biancone. Sole Volante also earned big placements in the prep races, which includes Tampa Bay Derby (2nd), Pulpit Stakes (1st), Sam F. Davis Stakes (1st), and Mucho Macho Man Stakes (3rd).
