California Derby at Golden Gate Fields on January 27
A full field of 12 3-year-old horses are set to compete in the $150,000 California Derby at Golden Gate Fields on January 27. The 1 1/16-mile California Derby is the first Kentucky Derby prep race of the year in Northern California.
All carrying 121 pounds, the post positions, horses and jockeys of the participants in the California Derby this Sunday are:
Cafe Tortoni ridden by jockey Luis Contreras

Irishman Paddy Gallagher will send out the undefeated colt Yankee Bravo and Irish-breds Spinning Sound and Robscarvic in the California Derby.
Yankee Bravo is perfect in two starts. The Kentucky-bred broke his maiden in Great Britain last September and then captured the Eddie Logan Stakes on the turf at Santa Anita Park in his U.S. debut on December 29. Jockey Alex Solis has the call on Yankee Bravo.
Spinning Sound ran fifth in the Eddie Logan, beaten 4 1/4 lengths by Yankee Bravo in the one-mile feature. Spinning Sound has one win in four starts and he’ll be ridden in the California Derby by Francisco Duran.
Robscarvic, also 1-for-4 lifetime, ran fifth in both the Pinjara Stakes at Santa Anita and the Generous Stakes (gr. III) at Hollywood Park. Gallagher has given jockey Victor Espinoza the riding assignment on Robscarvic.
The California Derby will be run as the eighth race at Golden Gate Fields on a 10-race card that begins at 12:15 p.m.
