Cutting Humor is one of two runners in the 2019 Kentucky Derby for trainer Todd Pletcher. The Starlight Racing colorbearer captured the Sunland Derby (G3) in New Mexico to earn his spot in the Derby starting gate on the first Saturday in May. Prior to that contest, the dark bay son of First Samurai made his stakes debut an off-the-board finish in the Southwest Stakes (G3) at Oaklawn Park.
