Woodbine jockey Kazushi Kimura will be riding in the Kentucky Derby for a second straight year.

Kimura, who won a third straight Woodbine riding title last year, will be aboard T O Password, a Japanese colt that has won both lifetime starts.

“I am very excited to be riding in the Derby again,” Kimura told Woodbine communications. “I’d like to thank the connections of T O Password for this great opportunity.

“Hopefully, we can make this a memorable day for the entire team.”
