Stronghold Horse Trainer and Jockey

Trainer Phil D'Amato makes his Kentucky Derby debut with Stronghold, and jockey Antonio Fresu also rides in the Derby for the first time.

Fresu has ridden Stronghold in his last four starts, however, including the Sunland Park Derby and Santa Anita Derby wins.

Stronghold Race History

Stronghold has won half of his races and has never finished worse than second -- although the Speed Scores were sub-90 in his first four starts. The 99 at the Santa Anita Derby in early April could mean momentum.
