Barbaro's brother Lentenor has been entered to run in the Florida Derby, a prep race for the Kentucky Derby.

Lentenor is the co-third choice at 6-1 in a field of 11 3-year-olds entered Wednesday for Saturday's $750,000 race at Gulfstream Park.

Rule was made the 5-2 favorite and brings a four-race winning streak into the Florida Derby. The colt is trained by Todd Pletcher.

Also in the field is Soaring Empire, owned in part by Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino.

Barbaro won the 2006 Florida Derby before his victory in the Kentucky Derby. Barbaro broke down in the Preakness and was euthanized eight months later.

Fountain of Youth winner Eskendereya is skipping the race for next month's Wood Memorial.
