Paddy O'Prado to face seven in Virginia Derby

If you love turf racing you've got to love Saturday's card at Colonial Downs.  Fourteen races on tap with all of them on the grass highlighted by the Grade 3 Virginia Oaks and the Grade 2 Virginia Derby.  The Dale Romans trained Paddy O'Prado and Todd Pletcher's Interactif headline the Virginia Derby field.  Stately Victor, winner of the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes, is also entered in the Derby.

I'll have more on both the Oaks and the Derby later on in the week, plus a look at the entire turf-centric card as there are a couple of juvenile races on the lawn that could potentially produce a Breeders' Cup runner in either the Juvenile Turf or Juvenile Filly Turf.

Below are the entries for Virginia Oaks and Virginia Derby.
