"HRH Toteboard For The Grade 2 Illinois Derby (7th  Race At Hawthorne Park, Saturday, April 5, 2008)"

Before 2001, the Illinois Derby was run after the Kentucky Derby and before the Preakness.  Now it is a regular stop for would-be Kentucky Derby contenders, and in 2002 War Emblem first won the Illinois Derby on his way to a gate-to-wire victory in the Kentucky Derby.  This year the Illinois Derby plays host to another talented field.  The $500,000 graded stakes takes place Saturday afternoon at Hawthorne Park.
 
Today we handicap the $500,000 Grade 2 Illinois Derby for 3-year-olds to be contested at 1 1/8 miles over the Hawthorne Park main course on conventional dirt.  The Grade 2 Illinois Derby is the 7th  race on the card at Hawthorne Park.  Saturday's race is off at 5:30 p.m. EDT (4:30 p.m. CDT, 2:30 p.m. PDT).
