Mr. Money (Goldencents) looks to score his fourth straight victory in graded company Saturday in the GIII West Virginia Derby. Scoring his first black-type victory when romping by 5 1/4 lengths in the GIII Pat Day Mile on the GI Kentucky Derby undercard May 4, the bay blitzed the GIII Matt Winn S. field back beneath the Twin Spires June 15. He enters off another decisive score in the GIII Indiana Derby July 13.
Indiana Derby third-place finisher Math Wizard (Algorithms) also returns in this spot. Claimed by these connections for $25,000 earlier this year, the chestnut checked in second in the GIII Ohio Derby June 22 prior to his effort last time.
G2 UAE Derby victor Plus Que Parfait (Point of Entry) returns to the dirt in this spot after testing the turf in the GI Belmont Derby July 6, where he finished sixth. He split those efforts with a ninth-place finish via DQ in the GI Kentucky Derby.
A dominant allowance victor at Laurel June 8, Top Line Growth (Tapizar) crossed the line second last time in the Iowa Derby July 5, but was promoted to first after the winner was disqualified.
