i found this in an articel in the louisville courier-journal i think it answers your question

"If Showing Up runs, Roy and Gretchen Jackson of West Grove, Pa. -- who also have 5-for-5 Florida Derby winner Barbaro with trainer Michael Matz -- will become the first owners ever to have two unbeaten horses in the same Derby. Only twice before -- 1963 and 2000 -- have two undefeated horses run in the same Derby, and those had different owners"
