LEGENDARY trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who won the Grade 1 Preakness and Pennsylvania Derby last season with Sieze The Grey, is heading for Churchill Downs again after the Justify colt American Promise won last week’s Virginia Derby in a career-best effort by seven and three quarter lengths from Render Judgment trained by Kenny McPeek and set a track record for nine furlongs on the dirt at Colonial Downs.

Jockey Nik Juarez rode BC Stables’ colt to claim the prize and 50 qualifying points for the Kentucky Derby.
