The second edition of the east-southeast division of the Kentucky Derby 2025 scouting report adds 12 horses to the list, including the winners of the Jerome and the Grade 3 Lecomte.

Iowa-bred Cyclone State won the Jerome at Aqueduct on Jan. 4 with an impressive front-end effort going the one-turn mile. Last weekend Disco Time stayed undefeated in three starts when he rallied from far back to win the Lecomte by a neck on a sloppy track at Fair Grounds.

Of the 25 horses listed in this report, trainer Todd Pletcher has five and Chad Brown and Brad Cox have three each.

The east-southeast covers Derby prep races that are run in New York, Florida, Virginia and Louisiana. That means stakes at Aqueduct, Gulfstream Park, Tampa Bay Downs, Colonial Downs and Fair Grounds.
