Eight 3-year-olds, including Grade 1 stakes-winner Tamarando, are confirmed to start in the Grade 3 $200,000 El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Fields Saturday.

The El Camino Real Derby is a 1 1/8-mile contest and is part of the “Road to the Kentucky Derby,” a 34-race series that awards points to the top four finishers in each race. The top 20 point earners nominated to the Triple Crown will get a spot in the starting gate for the Kentucky Derby on May 3 at Churchill Downs.
Point distribution in the El Camino Real Derby will be as follows: 10 points for first place, four for second, two for third, and one for fourth.
The El Camino Real Derby will be televised live on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area during a program airing from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Post time for the El Camino Real Derby is 4:42 p.m.
Tamarando, trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, won the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity and the Real Quiet Stakes at Betfair Hollywood Park last year. Tamarando opened up his 3-year-old campaign with a second-place finish in the California Cup Derby on Jan. 25 at Santa Anita and will enter the El Camino Real Derby with $505,120 in earnings.
