Vekoma was an elite Thoroughbred racehorse as a 2- and 3-year-old, capable of winning a graded stakes in each campaign and earning his way into the 2019 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve. In 2020, however, the Candy Ride colt has emerged as an Eclipse Award-caliber athlete.

The 2020 Road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve continues its unprecedented summer tour with a stop this Saturday at a historic, picturesque locale that’s usually reserved for early spring – Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky.

Like many other areas of life, 2020 is anything but normal for the sport of horse racing. Iconic Keeneland Race Course will hold its first-ever July meet this week featuring many stakes from its canceled April meet, including the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes. Saturday’s race features several 3-year-olds hoping to earn a place in the Sept.
