Del Mar Futurity (gr. I) winner Tamarando is among the eight horses entered in the $200,000 El Camino Real Derby (gr. III), to be run on February 15th at Golden Gate Fields.
Trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, the son of Bertrando is coming off of a runner-up finish last month in California Cup Derby behind the highly-regarded California Chrome. In addition to his victory in the Del Mar Futurity, Tamarando has won the Real Quiet Stakes and placed third in both the CashCall Futurity (gr. I) and FrontRunner Stakes (gr. I).
Other prominent entries in the El Camino Real Derby include Enterprising, runner-up in the California Derby; Dance with Fate, runner-up in both the Del Mar Futurity and FrontRunner Stakes last year; and Icy Ride, a Bob Baffert-trainee that has not finished better than fourth in four starts thus far.
The El Camino Real Derby is an official Kentucky Derby prep race, and will offer a total of seventeen Kentucky Derby qualifications points to the top four finishers -- ten to the winner, four to second, two to third, and one to fourth.
