Seven 3-year-olds who have aspirations to be part of the Kentucky Derby contenders list, will take their next step in the “Run for the Roses” in Saturday’s $100,000 Turf Paradise Derby on February 21 at Turf Paradise.
The 1 1/16-mile Turf Paradise Derby entries carrying 122 pounds with jockeys and morning line odds in post position order:

Valley resident Mike Pegram will be represented in the Turf Paradise Derby by Arizona native and Bob Baffert-trained Mayor Marv, a recent maiden winner at Santa Anita.
Another California shipper will be the Vladimir Cerin-trained Pauper’s Prize, who has managed two runner-up finishes in Santa Anita Park‘s maiden-claiming ranks. Race horse trainer Vladimir Cerin won the Turf Paradise Derby in 2003 with Robleado.
Local hopes ride with the Bart Hone-trained Hidden Bounty, who won 5 of 8 career starts, including his last two stakes, the $50,000 Lost in the Fog Juvenile and $25,000 Rattlesnake Stakes.
