Zach Miller doesn’t often travel out of state for stakes races, but when the opportunity came to send Premier Bluebird to the inaugural Oak Grove Trotting Derby in Kentucky, the Indiana-based trainer decided to take advantage of it.
Premier Bluebird was one of five horses entered in the Oak Grove Trotting Derby, for 3-year-old trotters, from the event’s “Win and You’re In” series of 2-year-old races, which provided an automatic berth into the eliminations with pre-entry and starting fees covered by the race sponsors. Premier Bluebird’s victory in last year’s Indiana Sire Stakes championship qualified him for the automatic berth.
