Built Leads Fair Grounds Rematch in 2025 Lecomte Stakes

Built, a $260,000 Hard Spun colt, is set to lead a Fair Grounds rematch in the Grade 3, $250,000 Lecomte Stakes, a Kentucky Derby points prep race. He won his last two starts as a 2-year-old and earned 10 Derby qualifying points with a gate-to-wire victory in the Gun Runner.

Magnitude, an allowance winner, and Admiral Dennis, the favorite in the Gun Runner who stumbled out of the gate, will also compete in the Lecomte Stakes. The race is worth 20-10-6-4-2 Derby qualifying points to the top five finishers and is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. EST next Saturday.

The Lecomte Stakes features a full field of 14 3-year-olds, with Magnitude carrying José Ortiz from post 4 and Admiral Dennis being ridden by Joel Rosario from post 3. The race is the last of 12 on the card and will be a two-turn, 1 1/16-mile event at Fair Grounds.
