Chaos, upset on final major weekend of Kentucky Derby preps

ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) — Practical Move held off Japan’s Mandarin Hero by a nose to win the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby and solidify his status as a top contender in next month’s Kentucky Derby.

Ridden by Ramon Vazquez, Practical Move ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:48.69. Sent off as the 4-5 favorite, the 3-year-old colt paid $4, $3 and $2.20.

At Keeneland, Tapit Trice won the $1 million Blue Grass by a neck. Lord Miles pulled a stunning upset at 59-1 odds to win the Wood Memorial in New York.

All three winners earned 100 qualifying points for the Kentucky Derby on May 6.
