Strong Foursome Heads Del Ano Derby Field
Owner Ed Allred and trainer Bruce Hawkinson have the $106,200 El Primero Del Ano Derby tonight at Los Alamitos surrounded.
They will be represented by a four-horse entry in the 400-yard race for 3-year-olds.
Besides the two fastest qualifiers, Keeps and Free Thinker, Allred and Hawkinson will send out Take Odds and Jitters Secret. Six others are scheduled to go in the El Primero Del Ano, the 10th race on the card.
Keeps, who won his trial for the Derby by 1 1/2 lengths in 19.95 seconds, is the strongest member of the entry. He has won four of his five starts and will be ridden by Joe Badilla Jr.
