1965

In 1965, Gentry became trainer to John W. Galbreath's Darby Dan Farm. The move forced him to give up training a promising two-year-old named Kauai King who went on to win the following year's Derby. In 1966, Gentry trained Darby Dan Farm's Graustark, winner of the 1965 Arch Ward Stakes at Arlington Park and the 1966 Bahamas Stakes at Hialeah Park. After Buckpasser suffered a quarter crack, Graustark became widely favored to win the Kentucky Derby that year. Because Graustark had never raced over 7 furlongs, it was decided, in spite of a slightly infected left front hoof, to run him in the 9 furlong Blue Grass Stakes as a prep for the 1966 Kentucky Derby. Graustark was beaten by a nose by Abe's Hope after suffering a career-ending injury.
