San Felipe Stakes (gr. II) Danzing Candy and Wood Memorial (gr. I) runner-up Trojan Nation arrived at Churchill Downs this afternoon, meaning that all twenty of the expected Kentucky Derby starters have arrived at the track.

The California-based colts completed their major Derby preparations out west and will only train lightly at Churchill before the Derby. According to a Churchill Downs press release, Clifford Sise Jr.–the trainer of Danzing Candy–will be on hand at Churchill tomorrow to watch Danzing Candy either jog or gallop over the main track. Paddy Gallagher, the trainer of Trojan Nation, is expected to arrive in Louisville tomorrow.

Both Danzing Candy and Trojan Nation will be stabled in Barn 41, which is also the home of the unbeaten Kentucky Derby favorite Nyquist.
