Race Clue #1 A field of 14 entered the starting gate for this Kentucky Derby prep.

 

Race Clue #2 The winner came from well back on the muddy track to get up in the final jump.

 

Race Clue #3 No horse from this race would win the Derby, but the winner would find big success in the Belmont Stakes.

Race Clue #4The narrow loser of this race would come back to finish last in the Kentucky Derby.

Race Clue #5 Five horses from this race came back to run for the roses, finishing 3-7-12-18-20 respectively.

 

Race Clue #6 Surprisingly, none of the five were bred in Kentucky.

 

Race Clue #7 Sired by a Derby winner, the race winner only ran three more times, winning his final two.

Race Clue #8 The win photo came down to one trainer already in the Hall of Fame over another trainer who would enter later.

 

Race Clue #9 The losing trainer won his first Kentucky Derby five years later.

 

Race Clue #10 The race winner went off the favorite, mainly because of his entrymate.

 

You should know it by now … Tell me the race and the year!
