Peter Brette is Getting a Good Feeling about Union Rags

BOYNTON BEACH, FL – Peter Brette is privileged to know what if feels like to sit on a Kentucky Derby (G1) winner, having served as the assistant trainer and exercise rider of the Michael Matz-trained Barbaro, the 2006 winner of the Run for the Roses.

While Union Rags looks to others like a legitimate early favorite for this year’s Kentucky Derby, the 46-year-old native of England has a more advantaged perspective from the back of the 6-5 morning-line favorite for Saturday’s $1 million Florida Derby (G1) at Gulfstream Park.
