Bluegrass Cat, the 2-5 favorite who defeated Deputy Glitters in the Sam F. Davis last month, made a late run but Deputy Glitters pulled away for a two-length victory.
"We needed to run the perfect race and we got it, along with a perfect ride," winning trainer Tom Albertrani said.
Bluegrass Cat came into the race as one of the top Derby contenders, and trainer Todd Pletcher remained optimistic, saying that Deputy Glitters ran a near-perfect race under Jose Lezcano. Deputy Glitters, an 8-1 choice, won his first race in six starts dating back to last September.
