The Lane’s End Stakes is one of the 2008 Kentucky Derby prep races. Although there are no big names in Lane’s End Stakes field, there’s still a chance one or two 2008 Kentucky Derby contenders will emerge.

All carrying 121 pounds, horses racing in the 1 1/8 mile Lane’s End Stakes at Turfway Park’s synthetic Polytrack with jockeys line up as follows:

  1. Duke of de Buqe ridden by jockey Julien Leparoux
