Gorgeous Kitten, who is cross-entered in the Super Derby on Saturday at Louisiana Downs and the Dueling Grounds Derby on Sunday at Kentucky Downs, will run in Kentucky, trainer Mike Maker told Daily Racing Form's Byron King.
The defection of Gorgeous Kitten leaves a field of five for the Super Derby. The race is being run on turf for the first time this year. Gorgeous Kitten was a chief contender in the Super Derby, but also is one of the top choices in the Dueling Grounds Derby.
High Noon Rider is another Louisiana Downs stakes entrant cross-entered in a race at Kentucky Downs. High Noon Rider is in the Unbridled at Louisiana Downs and an optional $62,500 claiming race at Kentucky Downs. Both races are Saturday.
