West Hills Giant is a John P. Terranova, II trained Frost Giant colt. He won the New York Breeders' Futurity back in September and most recently finished second in the Gotham Stakes (G3). He's got the same problem all the other horses we've review up to this point have which is not enough points to qualify for the Kentucky Derby. That also means another prep race is in his future.
"He's breezing [Monday] at Belmont and then there's a good chance he'll come to the Blue Grass or Lexington," Terranova said. "We'll make a decision [Monday]."
In order to qualify with enough points, West Hills Giant will need a Top 3 finish in the Blue Grass or a win in the Lexington. We'll be keeping an eye on him and keep you posted with the results!
