War Emblem and Funny Cide ran in the Louisiana Derby also, neither winning it, then WE ran in the Illinois Derby and FC ran in the Wood as their last race coming into the Derby.
Until Grindstone did it, think Black Gold was the only winner of the LA Derby and the Ky Derby. Risen Star, to me, was the best LA Derby winner over the last 40 years or so.
