Ruler On Ice, To Honor and Serve favorites for PA Derby
Belmont winner Ruler On Ice was installed as a 5-2 morning line favorite Monday against eight rivals for Saturday's $1 million Pennsylvania Derby. To Honor and Serve will likely vie for favoritism after a romping win in an allowance race at Saratoga last month.
Garrett Gomez will ride Ruler On Ice while Jose Lezcano will be aboard To Honor and Serve, as John Velazquez chose to ride Rattlesnake Bridge, who is also in the field.
The rest of the field, with jockeys: Arthur’s Tale (Alan Garcia), Pender Harbour (Luis Contreras), Norman Asbjornson (Julian Pimentel), Rush Now (Cornelio Velasquez), Isn’t He Perfect (no rider), And J W Blue (Cornelio Velasquez).
