Wesley Ward rides a tremendous wave of momentum ahead of his first
Kentucky Derby starter, having registered a record-tying four victories on Keeneland’s closing day to easily win his seventh training title there.
Ward captured 20 races to tie Henry Forrest for third place overall for most meet titles at Keeneland. His dominance included stakes successes with Kimari in the Madison (G1), Bound for Nowhere in the Shakertown (G2), Twenty Carat in the Beaumont (G3) and Chasing Artie in the Palisades Turf Sprint. Only Ben Jones (1948), Todd Pletcher (2011) and Chad Brown (2018) swept as many stakes in one meet.
