Gomez to ride Any GivenSaturday in Kentucky Derby
by Jeff Lowe

Trainer Todd Pletcher has his jockey plans in place for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1), with Garrett Gomez taking the call on Any Given Saturday.

Edgar Prado will remain on Scat Daddy after guiding the colt to a victory in the Florida Derby (G1) when regular jockey John Velazquez was out of town for the Dubai World Cup (UAE-G1) program.

Velazquez will ride Louisiana Derby (G2) winner Circular Quay in the Kentucky Derby, Pletcher said on Monday.

Velazquez also has been the regular rider for Any Given Saturday, who finished third in the Wood Memorial Stakes (G1) on April 7 at Aqueduct.

Fernando Jara will stay on Illinois Derby (G2) winner Cowtown Cat and Ramon Dominguez will ride Sam P., the third-place finisher in the Santa Anita Derby (G1).
