Trainer John Ennis is preparing Great White to run in a race on Saturday at Churchill Downs.The massive son of Volatile is entered in the Pat Day Mile and also the Kentucky Derby. He’s the first of four also-eligibles entered and is doing the waiting game for the Derby. Churchill Downs allows up to four horses to be entered as also-eligibles, which means they only make the field if another horse is scratched before the deadline of 9 a.m. the Friday before the race.“It’s a little more relaxing this year,” Ennis said. “He’s cross-entered, so he is going to race on Saturday, but it would be fun to get in the big dance.”Due to a regulatory change, this is the first year that trainers on the also-eligible list for the Derby can also enter their horses in other graded stakes races on the same card at the Downs.Ennis is optimistic. Two years ago, he had Full Ride as the first also-eligible and drew into the race when Encino scratched.“It was this day two years ago that we got a notification that we were in,” he said. “It’s good. He’s going to run regardless on Saturday and obviously we would like him to run in the Derby. But there’s really no pressure on us. He’s doing great and we’re going to run somewhere.”Great White, a grey colt, is the largest horse on the Derby list. Ennis said he’s a little more than 17.2 hands - which equates as a “giant horse” who would measure about 5-foot-10 at the withers.“He’s a big boy,” Ennis said. “He’s still a baby. He’s a gentle giant really. He’s feeling really good at the minute, so we’re trying to keep the lid on him and get him to the race feeling as fresh as we can. I think the key is getting him to the race and having him feel good.”Great White won the John Battaglia Stakes at Turfway Park but then finished fifth in the Blue Grass Stakes.GOLDEN TEMPO NOT ON THE TRACKLouisiana Derby third-place finisher Golden Tempo was not on the track during training hours on Tuesday morning. The son of Curlin shipped in over the weekend and made his first appearance on the Downs oval when he jogged on Monday.Trainer Cherie DeVaux said the colt is dealing with a foot issue, noting it was a little cracked heel.“We just gave him an easy day to let those settle down,” DeVaux told FanDuel. “Not a big deal. He's training great. He's happy. He's moving wonderfully out there, so I'm really pleased with him.”Golden Tempo is a deep closer and has two wins and two third-place finishes in his four career starts. He won the Lecomte Stakes on Jan. 17 at Fair Grounds but has since been third in the Risen Star and third in the Louisiana Derby.FLAVIEN PRAT HAS A LOT OF DERBY SUCCESSJockey Flavien Prat has a stellar Derby record.The 33-year-old Prat is making his ninth Derby appearance and will ride Louisiana Derby winner Emerging Market for Chad Brown.Prat has only been out of the money two times with his previous eight Derby mounts. He was placed first through disqualification in 2019 with Country House and finished second with Hot Rod Charlie in 2021.The third-place finishes were Battle of Midway in 2017, Zandon in ’22, Angel of Empire in ’23, and Baeza last year. He was fourth with Catching Freedom in 2024, and 10th with Solomini in 2018.In his previous 16 Triple Crown races, Prat has two wins, two seconds, seven thirds and four fourth-place finishes.TIP OF THE DAYThe favorite doesn’t always win!!!Renegade is the 4-1 morning line favorite in the Kentucky Derby but would snap a streak if he does win the Roses.The last time a favorite won the Derby was back in 2018 when Justify captured the Derby on his way to the Triple Crown. Justify was the sixth Derby favorite in a row to win at that time.The current streak of nine straight Derby winners without a favorite is the second longest streak in Derby history. The longest was the 20 years in a row without a favorite winning from 1980-99.QUOTE OF THE DAYAshland Stakes winner Percy’s Bar is the co-third choice in the Kentucky Oaks on Friday at 6-1. The favorite is Zany, the filly that Percy’s Bar beat in the Ashland in both of their last races.“Rodney Dangerfield,” trainer Ben Colbrook said. “She doesn’t get any respect, but looks like she’s doing fine and she’s going to show up.”
