Catch Kentucky's final Derby prep on Saturday with the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland. The race looks to draw a full field of 14 colts looking for the winner's share of the 160 points up for grabs, which will assure them a spot in the gate on the first Saturday in May. You can catch all of the action starting at 4:30 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1. Be sure to stop by the America's Best Racing homepage (www.americasbestracing.net) for a live Toyota Blue Grass Stakes webcast from 4-6:30 p.m. that will be hosted by Joe Kristufek, the face of ABR's "Racing 101" and a self-proclaimed horse racing ambassador.
Strike the Gold in 1991 was the last horse to win the Blue Grass Stakes and the Kentucky Derby. Hall of Fame jockey Bill Shoemaker won the Blue Grass six times.
