The first edition of the Virginia Derby was held in 1998 and has now been contested for more than a quarter-century, but the Colonial Downs feature race takes on a new look Saturday.
What had previously been a rare “off” weekend on the Road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve calendar in past March months is now populated by a new qualifying points prep for 2025.
After a jam-packed weekend filled with major races coast to coast including three prep races for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, the upcoming weekend offers another important Derby prep plus the return of 2024’s Horse of the Year, both on Saturday, March 8.
One of the biggest weekends on the road to the 2025 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve is here, with three qualifying points prep races on the schedule for Saturday, March 1.
