KENTUCKY DERBY 143 FIELD STORY 1

Finding a Kentucky Derby winner BY BYRON KING LOUISVILLE, Ky. – It is not uncommon to see horseplayers deviate from their customary handicapping methods when it comes to the Kentucky Derby. Accustomed to making their bets by analyzing past performances, some forego this routine and instead handicap the Derby off recollections of the prep races and well-publicized historical rules, sometimes picking their Derby horse weeks in advance. More power to those for whom this is the winning practice, but it is one I cannot endorse. Better to analyze the data in the past performances and handicap the Kentucky Derby by the fundamentals of handicapping, historical rules be dammed. I approach the Derby like I would any other race while acknowledging that it is unique in terms of being 1 1/4 miles, longer than any of the horses have raced, and with an exceptionally large field of up to 20 horses. So, what follows is an analysis of the Derby reflecting what I consider to be the key factors that apply to each and every race: speed figures, class, pace, and distance capability.

Speed figures Speed figures answer the question of who the fastest horses are coming into the race. And in examining this year’s Kentucky Derby, it is clear that only a few horses have run quickly to date, having cracked the 100 Beyer Speed Figure threshold. They include Classic Empire, who ran a 102 in winning the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile last fall, though he has not run as quickly this year at 3; Irish War Cry, who notched a 101 in winning the Holy Bull and a 100 in the Wood Memorial this year; and J Boys Echo, who posted a 102 in winning the Grade 3 Gotham, one start before a fourth in the Blue Grass Stakes in his final Derby prep. In terms of last-race efforts, the fastest in this year’s Derby are Irish War Cry, with the aforementioned 101 in the Wood Memorial; Always Dreaming, who earned a 97 in winning the Florida Derby; and Hence, the winner of the Sunland Derby, with a 97. Among the favorites and midpriced horses, ranking poorly in the speed-figure category are Girvin, Gormley, Irap, and Practical Joke – none of whom has run faster than a 93 in his last two races. It should be noted that while Beyer Speed Figures are not officially produced for races from Dubai, UAE Derby winner Thunder Snow was estimated to have run a 94 by Andy Beyer.

Class Although the definition of class differs among handicappers, I’ve often ranked class by high-quality efforts against top competition. And from that perspective, the classiest horses in the Derby are Classic Empire, Irish War Cry, Always Dreaming, Gunnevera, and, to a lesser extent, McCraken. Horses such as Irap and Hence have been classy in specific races –

in winning the Blue Grass and Sunland Derby, respectively – but not to the extent of the top contenders on a consistent basis. Absent from my “classy” group is Gormley despite his having notched two Grade 1 victories. His wins in the FrontRunner and Santa Anita Derby came in low-quality renewals of those Grade 1 events.

Pace There appears to be no shortage of pace in the Derby, though there are few need-the-lead types. Anticipate longshot Fast and Accurate doing his best to make the lead. Probably the longest price on the board, one would think his best chance might be to make the front and hope the riders on the other speed horses take back to avoid a duel with a horse who figures to come back to the pack. Figuring to race in close attendance to the lead are Always Dreaming, Irish War Cry, Irap, and State of Honor, plus another unexpected horse or so. It’s the horses right behind this flight who are seemingly going to enjoy the best trips, sitting within striking range of the leaders but not involved with the pace. They are Classic Empire, Gormley, and Battle of Midway, who I would expect will revert to a rating style after being part of a contested pace in the Santa Anita Derby. I also anticipate McCraken being more patiently handled after he was an even-paced third in the Blue Grass while rating close to the speed. His route victories have come when he rallied from the rear half of the pack.

Distance capability Dubai raider Thunder Snow won the UAE Derby at 1,900 meters, which is a little longer than 1 3/16 miles – meaning he is the horse closest to winning at 1 1/4 miles. As for the U.S.-based horses, winners going at least 1 1/8 miles include Girvin, Classic Empire, Gormley, Irap, Irish War Cry, Always Dreaming, Hence, and Fast and Accurate. Most of those look capable at the Derby distance, with the exception of longshot Fast and Accurate, who covered his final eighth of a mile in winning the 1 1/8-mile Spiral Stakes in 14.11 seconds. Of those who haven’t won at 1 1/8 miles, Gunnevera, McCraken, Tapwrit, Lookin At Lee, and Sonnateer look most apt to like 1 1/4 miles. The same can’t be as confidently stated about Practical Joke, who has seemed fatigued in two of his three two-turn races, with the exception coming last out in the Blue Grass, where he rallied to be second. Even then, he couldn’t catch longshot Irap after seeming to have dead aim at the top of the stretch.

BACK TO CONTENTS

KENTUCKY DERBY 143 FIELD Putting it all together Although his victory in the Arkansas Derby wasn’t as dominant as some of his others, Classic Empire managed to overcome adversity, both in some training setbacks leading up to the race and then during the running, when he was steadied early and stuck in heavy traffic down the backstretch. He had every right to lose the race but didn’t, and the Arkansas Derby should move him forward and leave him better prepared for the Kentucky Derby. Barring a poor post, he will be my selection to win the Kentucky Derby since he possesses the speed figures, class, tactical speed, and, seemingly, the ability to get the distance. He is also a two-time winner at Churchill, his longtime training base. Irish War Cry intrigues the next most considering how quickly

he has run in two of his three routes. Though he hasn’t raced at Churchill, he has won over three different racetracks in his fiverace career, including a victory over Gunnevera and Classic Empire in the Holy Bull Stakes in February. McCraken also should be a force, having training exceptionally well leading into the Derby and seemingly ready to take advantage of what should be a lively pace. If there is a vulnerable favorite, it could be Always Dreaming, who has been extremely keen in his training, suggesting that he could get sucked into a hot pace or fight jockey Johnny Velazquez if he tries to rate him in the mad dash to establish position into the first turn. Price horses to use for pick-up-the-pieces positions are Gunnevera and Hence.

Always Dreaming

x-1

Breeder: Santa Rosa Partners Trainer: Todd A. Pletcher Owner: Brooklyn Boyz Stables, Teresa Viola Racing Stables, et al. Jockey: John Velazquez Record: 5-3-1-1 STRENGTHS: He’s 3 for 3 since stretching out to two turns and has been virtually untested going long, winning those routes by lopsided margins of 11 1/2, four, and five lengths. That five-length score came in the Florida Derby, his first attempt in a stakes race, and it was such a commanding victory that it made him the future book Kentucky Derby favorite for two weeks, until Classic Empire got back on track and won the Arkansas Derby. The 97 Beyer Speed Figure he earned in the Florida Derby marked a significant step forward in that department, and the on-the-pace or close-to-the-pace running style he has employed since stretching out puts him in position to draw good trips most every time. WEAKNESSES: The early paces he was either part of or close to in all of his two-turn starts were moderate to downright slow. He will likely encounter a more demanding pace in the Derby, and it is an unknown how he will react to it. He might remain close early because that is what he is most comfortable doing, but that would extract energy needed for the late stages. Or he could lay farther back and not expend as much early effort, but that would put him in a position he’s unfamiliar with going long.

SIRE: Bodemeister, who had brilliance that could be carried, romped in the Arkansas Derby, then was a hard-fought second in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. He is a promising young sire from a consistently classic-producing male line. Bodemeister’s sire, Pioneerof the Nile, second in the Kentucky Derby, is the sire of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah and champion Classic Empire, this year’s probable Derby favorite. The grandsire is Belmont Stakes winner Empire Maker, who is by classic sire Unbridled. DAM: Above Perfection, a Grade 3-winning sprinter, is the dam of Hot Dixie Chick, winner of the Grade 1 Spinaway Stakes as a juvenile. Hot Dixie Chick is the dam of stakes winner Union Jackson, who seems to have found a niche as a one-turn runner despite being by a prominent stamina source in Curlin.

OUTLOOK: Bodemeister may well have the ability to sire a successful runner in the Triple Crown series, but the trends in Always Dreaming’s immediate female family are cause for pause.

BETTING VALUE: He could be second choice in the betting, somewhere around 6-1. That’s a nice price in a vacuum, and will certainly appeal to his most ardent admirers, but not so much in an open, 20-horse Derby field.

Battle of Midway

x-1

Breeder: Thor-Bred Stables, LLC Trainer: Jerry Hollendorfer Owner: WinStar Farm, Don Alberto Stable Jockey: Flavien Prat Record: 4-2-1-1 STRENGTHS: Gave a courageous effort in defeat when second to Gormley in the Santa Anita Derby. Battled with two others from the outset and was still punching on gamely in the stretch. He is far from a need-the-lead type, however, as he rallied from midpack to win his prior start, an entry-level optional claimer at Santa Anita. This versatility should serve him well in the Derby. A son of Smart Strike out of Grade 1 winner Rigoletta, he has stamina and class in his bloodlines. The Derby distance shouldn’t prove too much of an obstacle.

SIRE: Smart Strike was a perennial top sire prior to his death in 2015. He won the Grade 1 Philip H. Iselin Handicap at 1 1/16 miles, a distance at which he won three times. The average winning distance of his progeny of 7.72 furlongs is the highest of this year’s class of Kentucky Derby sires. He has a fleet of runners who have succeeded at a distance, including two-time Horse of the Year Curlin, winner of the Breeders’ Cup Classic and Preakness and in the top three in all three legs of the Triple Crown. Battle of Midway is Smart Strike’s sixth Derby starter. The sire’s best performance in the race came from Curlin, who ran third in 2007.

WEAKNESSES: Battle of Midway must overcome the “curse of Apollo” if he is to win this year’s Derby. DAM: Rigoletta won 2 of 6 starts, including the The 1882 Kentucky Derby hero, Apollo is the only BEST Grade 1 Oak Leaf Stakes at 1 1/16 miles. She also Derby winner that didn’t race as a 2-year-old.

Breeder: Steven Nicholson & Brandi Nicholson Trainer: Mark E. Casse Owner: John C. Oxley Jockey: Julien Leparoux Record: 7-5-0-1 STRENGTHS: A case could be made that when last year’s unanimous Eclipse Award-winning 2-year-old male is on his game, he is simply better than his contemporaries. He showed a lot of substance winning the Breeders’ Futurity last fall in his first attempt around two turns in what also was his first representative outing in three months (not counting his Hopeful debacle when he wheeled leaving the gate), and he won a strongly run Breeders’ Cup Juvenile in good time. He also showed considerable depth winning the Arkansas Derby in his most recent start, considering it was his first real race since the Breeders’ Cup five months earlier (not counting his complete misfire in the Holy Bull), and in light of a compromised training schedule leading up to that race due to a foot issue and a couple of episodes of being unwilling to train. His ability to win from up close or behind is another asset. WEAKNESSES: He must improve on the Arkansas Derby because a duplication of his effort at Oaklawn won’t be good enough to win. That said, obviously his biggest weakness is himself. Will he train willingly in the mornings? Will he stay calm in the intense Derby atmosphere? Will he do something crazy and unpredictable like he did at the start of the Hopeful? No one knows for certain. BETTING VALUE: He will be the favorite, so there isn’t much value, even if you think he’s better than everyone else. He might represent value in a reverse sense as a bet-against favorite who has a lot of questions to address.

SIRE: Pioneerof the Nile continues to cement his reputation as a source of stamina after having scored all his own wins at a mile or longer. His first crop included Kentucky Derby prep winners Cairo Prince and Vinceremos, and his son Social Inclusion finished third in both the Wood Memorial and Preakness. Emerging from Pioneerof the Nile’s second crop was Triple Crown hero American Pharoah. His sire, Empire Maker, won the 2003 Belmont Stakes, and his grandsire is Kentucky Derby winner and classic sire Unbridled. DAM: Sambuca Classica has produced three stakes winners, but only Classic Empire has won beyond six furlongs. Uptown Twirl was a multiple stakes winner at six furlongs last season, and Anytime Magic won the Lost in the Fog Stakes at five furlongs. This is the extended family of several outstanding racemares, including champion Revidere, Hollywood Gold Cup winner Princessnesian, and stakes winner and producer In Her Glory. Several descended from this family have served as evidence of its stamina, including Florida Derby, Blue Grass, and Donn Handicap winner Harlan’s Holiday.

Breeder: John R. Penn Trainer: Michael J. Maker Owner: Kendall E. Hansen, Skychai Racing Jockey: Channing Hill Record: 6-3-1-0 STRENGTHS: A winner of three consecutive races, including most recently the Grade 3 Spiral on Polytrack on March 25 at Turfway, he in the best form of his career. Though naturally speedy, he has shown the ability to sit just off the pace and be effective, as he did in the Spiral when he rated in third before surging to the lead heading into the stretch. WEAKNESSES: He finished fifth, beaten 11 3/4 lengths, in his lone dirt start, which came at Parx Racing last October and resulted in a 27 Beyer Speed Figure, the lowest of his six-race career. And even if one doubts regression with the surface switch, he would be an unlikely Derby winner if he merely maintained his current synthetic form. He took 1:50.96 to complete 1 1/8 miles in the Spiral, a race capped by a final eighth in a dawdling 14.11 seconds, and received a subpar 82 Beyer. With none of the more prominent jockeys taking the mount in the Kentucky Derby, it will go to Derby first-timer Channing Hill. BETTING VALUE: Other than his owners, who supplemented him to the Triple Crown at a cost of $200,000 after missing earlier deadlines for $600 and $6,000, he has few backers. Longshots in the modern Kentucky Derby era have rarely started in excess of 50-1 or 60-1, and he should go off at a price in that vicinity.

– Byron King

SIRE: Hansen is a champion juvenile who raced at less than a mile just once in nine career starts. Four of his five wins came at 1 1/16 miles, highlighted by the 2011 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs. He finished ninth in the 2012 Kentucky Derby. Fast and Accurate is part of Hansen’s first crop at stud, which has posted an average winning distance of 6.53 furlongs, putting Hansen in the bottom tier of the Kentucky Derby sires in that category. His other notable offspring include Han Sense, a stakes winner at six furlongs and Grade 3 placed at 1 1/16 miles; En Hanse, a stakes winner at 6 1/2 furlongs; The Walk, who is stakes placed at 6 1/2 furlongs; and Lady Hansen, who was stakes placed on the turf at seven furlongs.

BEST BEYER

DAM: All four starts for It’s Heidi’s Dance came at a mile, and she finished third in three of them, all on turf. All six of the mare’s foals to race have been winners, including Lady Gi, who is stakes placed in Peru at about 1 1/4 miles and has won at the distance. It’s Heidi’s Dance’s foals have been tested frequently at a route distance, and nine of her progeny’s 16 wins have been at distances longer than a mile.

OUTLOOK: The mare’s side brings some stamina, but a Grade 1 race at the classic distance seems like too much to ask from this pedigree.

G

STRENGTHS: The leading point earner on the road to the Kentucky Derby, he is unbeaten in his three starts on dirt, with his only loss being a second-place finish in a stakes race on turf. In addition to a maiden victory, his wins came at Fair Grounds in the Grade 2 Risen Star and Grade 2 Louisiana Derby. Already a winner at 1 1/8 miles, he looks well suited to the Derby’s 1 1/4-mile distance. With only four starts, he may have room for further development. WEAKNESSES: Interrupted training. He missed a scheduled work and regular gallops two weeks before the Derby due to a quarter crack in his right front hoof, a condition that required the care of a specialist and has resulted in him periodically swimming, rather than training ontrack, to ease stress to his foot. Beyond that setback, he is slower than most of the leading contenders, with his highest Beyer Speed Figures falling in the low 90s. Although he won the Risen Star and Louisiana Derby with authority, those fields were not as loaded with talent as other major Derby preps. The best 3-year-olds he has beaten are Derby longshots Untrapped and Patch. BETTING VALUE: After the discovery of his quarter crack and the unconventional training regimen that has followed, he is likely to start at odds of 15-1 or higher.

– Byron King

SIRE: Tale of Ekati won the 2008 Wood Memorial before finishing a creditable fourth in the Kentucky Derby. Later that year he finished second in the Cigar Mile, but was elevated to first via disqualification. Tale of Ekati has produced a handful of graded performers, including Tale of Verve, second to American Pharoah in the 2015 Preakness. He also is the sire of Grade 2 winner Ekati’s Phaeton and Grade 3 winner Verve’s Tale, both having scored their signature wins around one turn.

G

DAM: Catch the Moon’s first foal was Cocked and Loaded, winner of the Tremont Stakes sprinting and third in the Grade 3 Iroquois Stakes later in his 2-yearold season. He finished third in the Grade 3 Bay Shore Stakes sprinting the following year. This is the family of Grade 1-winning sprinter Yes It’s True; Silver Max, winner of the Grade 1 Shadwell Turf Mile in a year when it was contested on Polytrack due to a weatherrelated surface switch; and Canadian champion Kiss a Native. Malibu Moon, sire of Derby winner Orb, is generally regarded as a source of stamina and is the broodmare sire of champion Stellar Wind.

Gormley

x-1

Breeder: Castleton Lyons & Kilboy Estate Trainer: John A. Shirreffs Owner: Mr. and Mrs. Jerome S. Moss Jockey: Victor Espinoza Record: 6-4-0-0 STRENGTHS: His attributes include class, seasoning, and an admirable 4-for-6 career record. He has been a division leader since winning a Grade 1 in his second start. It was not a fluke; he subsequently has won two more graded stakes, including the Santa Anita Derby. His seventh in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile was a toss. He exerted so little energy that he returned to the track and trained the very next day. This season, Gormley re-established his credentials, winning two stakes, including the Santa Anita Derby in his most recent start. Gormley has tactical speed, he can close, and he has been trained throughout his career to take dirt and rally inside. His Santa Anita Derby win was not fast, but it was scrappy. His career-high Beyer Speed Figure is a modest 94. That is okay. Nyquist had a career-high route figure of 92 into last year’s Derby; 2012 winner I’ll Have Another had a 96 top; and 2011 winner Animal Kingdom had a 94 top. A big figure is admirable, but not requisite for Derby victory. Gormley’s trainer, John Shirreffs, won the 2005 Derby with longshot Giacomo; jockey Victor Espinoza has won three – with War Emblem, California Chrome, and American Pharoah.

SIRE: Malibu Moon, sire of 2013 Kentucky Derby winner Orb, is known as an outstanding filly sire, and in fact has Farrell in this year’s Kentucky Oaks. His Grade 1-winning daughters include Ask the Moon, Carina Mia, Devil May Care, Eden’s Moon, Funny Moon, Life At Ten, Malibu Mint, and Malibu Prayer. Most posted their signature victories at a mile or longer, in keeping with the stamina provided by the A.P. Indy line. DAM: Gormley is the first foal out of Race to Urga, who scored all her victories at 1 1/16 miles on turf, including the Wait a While Stakes at Gulfstream Park. Race to Urga’s dam, Miss Mambo, was third in the French 1000 Guineas, and the next dam is Arlington Million winner and champion Estrapade. Estrapade’s foals included Rice, who set a Meadowlands track record at 1 3/8 miles. Estrapade is a half-sister to 1990 Horse of the Year Criminal Type and Italian Group 1 winner Isopach.

Gunnevera

x-1

Breeder: Brandywine Farm & Stephen Upchurch Trainer: Antonio Sano Owner: Peacock Racing Stables, LLC Jockey: Javier Castellano Record: 9-4-2-1 STRENGTHS: He has been a division leader since winning the Grade 2 Saratoga Special as a juvenile, and his five starts in graded routes include two wins and two in-the-money finishes. Based on class, Gunnevera has appropriate credentials for Derby victory. There is no better jockey in North America than Javier Castellano, Eclipse Award winner four straight years, yet surprisingly off the board with his 10 previous Derby mounts. Castellano is due for a Derby win and riding as well as anyone in the country. He rode Gunnevera in five graded stakes, resulting in three wins and two other in-the-money finishes. Gunnevera is seasoned, having started nine times. His pedigree and closing style suggest 1 1/4 miles is within his range. WEAKNESSES: If closing style is a strength, one could argue it also is a potential weakness due to the inherent challenges that all late runners face. Gunnevera requires a strong pace at which to run, and he must avoid traffic. No guarantees he will get either. Furthermore, his most recent start, third as the Florida Derby favorite, was unexciting. He dropped out, rallied wide, and earned a low 88 Beyer. Gunnevera faces a tall order based on speed figures, as do others. No horse in the past quarter-century has won a Derby with a last-out Beyer lower than 91.

SIRE: Dialed In won the 2011 Florida Derby before finishing eighth in the Kentucky Derby and fourth in the Preakness. He went on to be the leading freshman sire of 2016, led by Gunnevera’s juvenile exploits. Dialed In is by Mineshaft, who also has a starter in this Kentucky Derby in J Boys Echo and who has sired two classic-placed runners in Nehro and Fly Down. The A.P. Indy sireline is a source of stamina. DAM: The unplaced Unbridled Rage is the dam of Minstrel Queen, who was Grade 1 placed in Puerto Rico at 1 3/16 miles. Broodmare sire Unbridled also is generally regarded as a source of stamina and is the sire of classic winners Grindstone, Red Bullet, and Empire Maker – with the latter two having won their classic on a wet track.

BETTING VALUE: If not for his Florida Derby misfire, Gunnevera would be among the favorites. His distant third, in a race he did not “need” to win, hides his form and helps his price. Gunnevera offers value at 10-1 or Daily Racing Form higher.

Always Dreaming

OUTLOOK: While not particularly flashy, Gunnevera should relish extra ground. His pedigree also indicates he’d be able to handle a wet track, which he’s already put into practice.

Breeder: Calumet Farm Trainer: Steven M. Asmussen Owner: Calumet Farm Jockey: Florent Geroux Record: 6-2-1-1 STRENGTHS: He comes into the Kentucky Derby off a runaway score in the Sunland Derby that was by far the best performance of his career and in which he earned a career-top Beyer Speed Figure of 97, which is competitive with any Kentucky Derby aspirant. His Sunland Derby also has proven to be a very productive race. Runner-up Conquest Mo Money came back to be a narrowly beaten second to Kentucky Derby favorite Classic Empire in the Arkansas Derby; third-place finisher Hedge Fund came back to be beaten just a head in the Illinois Derby; fourth-place finisher Irap came back to win the Blue Grass; and fifth-place finisher Total Tap came back to be a close third in the Northern Spur. Moreover, all four of those horses improved Beyer-wise off the Sunland Derby from 2 to 10 points, flattering this colt even more.

SIRE: Street Boss is a multiple Grade 1-winning sprinter who never raced at a distance longer than seven furlongs. He won the Grade 1 Triple Bend Invitational Handicap at seven furlongs and the Bing Crosby Handicap at six furlongs. Despite his ontrack résumé and his progeny’s average winning distance of 6.59 furlongs, which puts him near the bottom of this year’s Kentucky Derby sires in that category, Street Boss has proven capable of siring a high-level route horse, including last year’s Kentucky Oaks winner Cathryn Sophia. He also is the sire of Danza, winner of the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at 1 1/8 miles and the third-place finisher in the 2014 Kentucky Derby. DAM: Floating Island finished second in 2 of 6 starts, once at seven furlongs and once at 1 3/16 miles. She is the dam of three winners from six foals to race, including Conquest Stormy, who finished second in a turf stakes at a mile and never raced at a shorter distance. Of her progeny’s six wins, five have come at a route.

WEAKNESSES: He received an ideal setup in the Sunland Derby with a very hot early pace that disintegrated, playing to his late kick. His only other attempt against stakes company was the polar opposite of his Sunland Derby, a dull and distant seventh in the Southwest just two starts back. He’s most effective as a deep closer, so he’ll need racing luck in a big field.

BEST BEYER

97

Chestnut Colt Foaled March 28, 2014 in Kentucky

OUTLOOK: Big things have happened when Street Boss foals outrun the sire’s sprinter tendencies. Hence cleared that hurdle in the Sunland Derby and shouldn’t be hampered at Churchill Downs.

BETTING VALUE: Despite coming out of such a productive prep race, his odds should be somewhere in the range of 15-1 to 20-1, which makes him a mustuse in at least vertical wagers.

Irap

x-1

Breeder: Aaron & Marie Jones Trainer: Doug F. O’Neill Owner: Reddam Racing LLC Jockey: Mario Gutierrez Record: 8-1-3-1 STRENGTHS: Even though Irap failed to win in his first seven starts, his connections continued to treat him like a top 3-year-old. Their faith was rewarded when Irap upset the Grade 2 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland, and they now have a sharp, in-form runner who seems to be training well going into this Derby. Trainer Doug O’Neill, owner Paul Reddam, and jockey Mario Gutierrez have won two of the last five runnings of this race (Nyquist, 2016; I’ll Have Another, 2012). Like Irap, both of those horses entered the Derby off a victory in a major prep race. Irap boasts a strong pedigree as he is a half-brother to champion sprinter Speightstown. gets stamina from his sire, Tiznow. Daily He Racing Form

SIRE: Tiznow is the only horse to capture two editions of the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Following in his form, most of his best runners have excelled around two turns, including 2008 Belmont Stakes winner Da’ Tara. He also is the sire of Dubai World Cup winner Well Armed, Santa Anita Derby and Travers Stakes winner Colonel John, Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies winner and champion Folklore, Whitney Handicap winners Tizway and Bullsbay, and Grade 1 route winners Gemologist, Tiz Miz Sue, and Tough Tiz’s Sis. Tiznow also passes size to his offspring, and Irap isn’t likely to be pushed around in a 20-horse field.

Romans Owner: Albaugh Family Stable Jockey: Luis Saez Record: 6-2-1-1 STRENGTHS: He is one of just three horses in the Kentucky Derby field who can boast a triple-digit Beyer Speed Figure, the others being champion Classic Empire and Wood Memorial winner Irish War Cry. J Boys Echo earned his figure in the Gotham, getting a 102 for his clear win over the inner track at Aqueduct. He has experience at Churchill Downs, having run second at the track in his debut, and is trained by Dale Romans, who has had a good deal of success at Churchill. He also brings a useful stalking style to the table and a nice foundation of two-turn races in Daily advance of the Racing 1 1/4-mile taskForm in the Derby.

SIRE: Mineshaft, the 2003 Horse of the Year, excelled at the classic distance, winning the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup and Suburban Handicap at 1 1/4 miles. The average winning distance of the sire’s progeny of 7.32 furlongs puts him in the upper echelon of this year’s Kentucky Derby sires in that category. He has proven more than capable of siring a two-turn horse, with successes including Grade 1 route winners Effinex, It’s Tricky, Dialed In, and Weep No More, as well as 2010 Belmont Stakes runner-up Fly Down.

Local Hero

x-1

Breeder: Three Chimneys Farm, LLC Trainer: Steven M. Asmussen Owner: e Five Racing Thoroughbreds Jockey: Undecided Record: 5-1-2-2 STRENGTHS: He is a consistent sort, having finished first, second, or third in his five starts. He met winners for the first time in the Risen Star and finished a respectable third, then ran another creditable race one start later when third in the Louisiana Derby. He has natural speed, which could help keep him out of trouble in the large field Saturday. He also has familiarity with Churchill Downs, having run second over the local strip last November in his second start. Steve Asmussen, his trainer, is in the Hall of Fame.

SIRE: Hard Spun, by the great Danzig, won the Grade 1 King’s Bishop Stakes at seven furlongs and was a multiple graded winner around two turns and second in both the Kentucky Derby and Breeders’ Cup Classic. His best runners have excelled at routes on dirt and turf, including champion Questing, Wood Memorial winner Wicked Strong, and Grade 1 winners Hard Aces, Hard Not to Like, Hardest Core, and Zo Impressive. DAM: Liam’s Dream won 4 of 5 starts, including the Grade 3 Cicada Stakes. She never won beyond 6 1/2 furlongs and was third in the Grade 2 Forward Gal Stakes at seven furlongs. Her dam, Danzig’s Dreamer, never won beyond 6 1/2 furlongs, and a BEST half-sister, Grade 2-placed Holdontoyourdream, never BEYER won beyond six. This is the extended family of multiple graded stakes winner and classic sire Distorted Humor. Horse of the Year Saint Liam sired only one crop of foals before his death, producing Horse of the Year Havre de Grace, and he is the broodmare sire of graded Dark BayThoroughbred Colt Derbytop25. Churchill Downs. Dirt. stakes winners Ahh Chocolate and Sharp Azteca. 1 1/4 Miles.Foaled March 21, 2014

WEAKNESSES: From a Beyer Speed Figure standpoint, he is lagging behind the top contenders, with his best number an 89 earned for a maiden special weight route win at Fair Grounds. Local Hero has yet to win a stakes race, and there are reasons to believe he will be tested at the 1 1/4-mile trip of the Derby.

89

BETTING VALUE: He figures to go off at 20-1 or higher should he draw into the field and would be a candidate to use underneath in the exotics because he Racing Form has Daily been a consistent performer in graded stakes.

Breeder: Ernest C. Frohboese Trainer: Todd A. Pletcher Owner: Al Shaqab Racing, WinStar Farm et al Jockey: Undecided Record: 5-2-1-1 STRENGTHS: The longer the race, seemingly the better he gets. He has gained ground in the final furlong of his five races, most notably when rallying to be third in the Group 2 UAE Derby in the mud March 25 at Meydan. That day, after angling out on the second turn, he closed the gap late to lose by 1 1/4 lengths to Thunder Snow. The UAE Derby, contested at about 1 3/16 miles, was run in a swift 1:57.76, and speed-figure guru Andrew Beyer estimated the winner Daily Racing Form earned a 94 Beyer Speed Figure, meaning Master Plan ran Sonneteer approximately a 92. Slight improvement on that Own: would Calumetgive Farm number him a chance for at least a minor TimeformUS Pace: Early Late award.

SIRE: Twirling Candy is a Grade 1 winner who won at distances from 6 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/8 miles. His most notable win came in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes at seven furlongs, but he also picked up Grade 2 wins at 1 1/8 miles in the Californian and Strub stakes, and finished second by a head in the Grade 1 Pacific Classic at 1 1/4 miles. With three crops of racing age, Twirling Candy’s average progeny winning distance of 6.68 furlongs puts him closer to the bottom of this Churchill 1 1/4 Miles. Dirt.

McCraken

x-1

Breeder: Whitham Thoroughbreds, LLC Trainer: Ian R. Wilkes Owner: Whitham Thoroughbreds LLC Jockey: Brian Hernandez Jr. Record: 5-4-0-1 STRENGTHS: Other than losing his final prep, McCraken has done little wrong. He won his first four starts, including two graded stakes, and is the only entrant with three wins at Churchill Downs. His final workout April 30 received glowing reviews. McCraken hits the Derby in top form and likely will run the best race of his career. That would be no surprise, considering his trainer is Ian Wilkes, former assistant to Carl Nazfger. Both Derby winners trained by Nazfger (Unbridled, Street Sense) peaked in the Derby after losing the Blue Grass in their final prep. It’s the same pattern for McCraken, who has room to improve in just his sixth start. WEAKNESSES: It is fair to question the quality of the horses he faced. Aside from Tapwrit, McCraken has defeated only modest company. Furthermore, he has run only one fast race, earning a 95 Beyer Speed Figure in a Grade 3. In four other starts, his highest Beyer is 88. McCraken was favored when he lost the Blue Grass, a race won by a maiden. Although a last-start defeat does not disqualify a horse from Derby victory, the Blue Grass was his first start against “real” horses. And he lost.

Daily Racing Form

SIRE: Horse of the Year Ghostzapper was known for brilliant speed that he could carry a distance, taking Grade 1 events from the 6 1/2 furlongs of the Vosburgh Stakes to the 1 1/4 miles of the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Versatility has been a hallmark of his stallion career, with runners such as Judy the Beauty, champion female sprinter on dirt; turf Grade 1 winner Za Approval; and, more importantly for McCraken, high-quality route horses, such as recent Santa Anita Handicap winner Shaman Ghost. Awesome Again is the sire of 2013 Preakness winner Oxbow. DAM: Ivory Empress never won beyond 6 1/2 furlongs, although she is a half-sister to Grade 1-winning router Mea Domina. Ivory Empress, whose career was highlighted by a runner-up effort in the Grade 3 Endine Stakes going six furlongs at Delaware Park, also is the dam of Grade 3-placed turf router Bondurant. The late Seeking the Gold is the broodmare sire of Eclipse Award champions Blame, Questing, She Be Wild, and Take Charge Brandi.

Breeder: Calumet Farm Trainer: Todd A. Pletcher Owner: Calumet Farm Jockey: Tyler Gaffalione Record: 3-1-2-0 STRENGTHS: He’s got guts. He’s a one-eyed horse coming off a runner-up finish in the Louisiana Derby. He settled off the pace along the rail in that race, found himself surrounded on all sides while advancing on the second turn, then dove in between horses in the stretch and finished well. The start was his first around two turns, and he would seem to have reason to move forward in his second route attempt Saturday. He also Daily Racing Form gets the services of familiar hands in Tyler Gaffalione, Hence whom heCalumet appeared to be quite responsive to in the Own: Farm TimeformUS Louisiana Derby. Pace: Early Late

SIRE: Union Rags, the second-best juvenile in his crop to Hansen, developed into a Belmont Stakes winner at 3. The high-class son of Dixie Union is off to a great start at stud, siring four graded stakes winners in his first crop, all excelling as the distances of their races have gotten longer. Three of his stakes winners are of the Grade 1 variety and at around two turns. All of his stakes winners are fillies, likely anDowns. anomaly,1but Derbytop25. Churchill 1/4 Miles. Dirt.

Practical Joke

Breeder: Whispering Oaks Trainer: Chad C. Brown Owner: Klaravich Stables, Inc. and William H. Lawrence Jockey: Joel Rosario Record: 6-3-2-1 STRENGTHS: Although Practical Joke hasn’t reached the winner’s circle this year, he is an accomplished, battle-tested 3-year-old with two Grade 1 victories. His résumé stacks up very well with shorter-priced Derby hopefuls. He showed a great amount of determination to win both the Hopeful and Champagne stakes in New York last year, and has the ability to adapt to most pace scenarios. Chad Brown is one of the best trainers in the game, and you can expect him to have Practical Joke primed and ready as the colt makes his third start of the season. Note that the Champagne victory came in Practical Joke’s third race of the form cycle last year. WEAKNESSES: Although he is clearly a talented runner, many believe that the 10-furlong Derby trip will prove too demanding. All three of his victories have come at one-turn at distances ranging from six to eight furlongs, and it was somewhat disappointing that he couldn’t pass longshot Irap in the waning stages of the nine-furlong Blue Grass after looming boldly at the eighth pole. With a career-best Beyer Speed Figure Daily Racing Form of 92, Practical Joke’s figures pale in comparison to Always DreamingHe’ll need to improve in those of Brooklyn the top contenders. Own: Boyz Stables Teresa Viola Ra TimeformUS that department ifPace: he’sEarly to winLate the Kentucky Derby.

SIRE: Into Mischief picked up a Grade 1 win in the CashCall Futurity going 1 1/16 miles, his only effort around two turns in six career starts. He also twice finished second in graded stakes at seven furlongs. His runners win at an average distance of 6.64 furlongs, putting him on the lower end of the Kentucky Derby sires in that category. His most notable runner is Goldencents, a two-time winner of the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile who also took the 1 1/8-mile Santa Anita Derby. Practical Joke is Into Mischief’s fourth Derby starter, following Goldencents (17th) and Vyjack (18th) in 2013 and Vicar’s In Trouble (19th) in 2014. DAM: Halo Humor never raced at longer than seven furlongs, winning at six and 6 1/2 furlongs BEST and finishing second in a stakes at 5 1/2 furlongs. BEYER She is the dam of two winners from four runners, with the most active around two turns being Cat On, who raced half of her 42 starts at a mile or longer, winning three of them. Practical Joke is her only other runner to compete beyond a mile. He won the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes at a mile and placedDowns. second in1 two Bay Colt Derbytop25. Churchill 1/4 Miles. Dirt.

Royal Mo

x-1

Breeder: Brandywine Farm Trainer: John A. Shirreffs Owner: Mr. & Mrs. Jerome S. Moss Jockey: Gary Stevens Record: 6-2-2-1 STRENGTHS: A graded stakes winner this year, Royal Mo ran a deceptively good race when third in his final prep, the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby. He broke from a difficult outside post position in that race and then contested a fast pace while widest on the track. Despite those issues, he was beaten only a length by stablemate Gormley. This owner-trainer combination upset the 2005 Kentucky Derby with Giacomo, a horse entering the race off a close-but-no-cigar effort in the Santa Anita Derby. They also campaigned Zenyatta and know how to get good horses ready for big races. A good-bodied horse by Uncle Mo (the sire of last year’s Derby winner), Royal Mo has blossomed since being stretched out around two turns. He has tactical speed and should be among the early leaders as long as he breaks cleanly from the starting gate. WEAKNESSES: Royal Mo’s big victory, the Grade 3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes, came when he controlled moderate splits in a suspect field led by then-maiden Irap. Royal Mo has been inconsistent since that race, and it’s worth noting that the only other time he shipped out of Southern California resulted in a disappointing performance in the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park. Although he earned a respectable 94 Beyer Speed Figure in his first start of the year, he hasn’t cracked the 90-Beyer plateau against tougher competition in his two subsequent starts. While the Santa Anita Derby featured some quality 3-year-olds, it wasn’t one of the faster prep races of the season.

SIRE: There’s no debate about the quality of Uncle Mo as a sire – he’s inarguably one of the best sires standing in North America after just three crops of racing age. He’s already sired a Kentucky Derby winner in Nyquist, from his first crop, and he’s had a host of graded stakes winners around two turns. A trait in his progeny that has helped him be so successful is that they run hard and compete, even if they are moving way up in class with little seasoning. DAM: Royal Irish Lass was unplaced on the track. She produced Tara From the Cape, a stakes winner on turf. Royal Irish Lass is out of the Seattle Song mare Irish Linnet, who was terrific on grass and won $1.2 million on the surface. The female family generally produces turf runners. Royal Mo’s broodmare sire, Saint Ballado, is a source of stamina and sired Horse of the Year Saint Liam, who died young but was a successful sire in his own right, as well as Kentucky Derby runner-up Captain Bodgit.

BEST BEYER


94

OUTLOOK: From a pedigree standpoint, Royal Mo is bred to be able to get a distance in top company, though one wonders if his best days lay ahead on turf.

Sonneteer

x-1

Breeder: Calumet Farm Trainer: J. Keith Desormeaux Owner: Calumet Farm Jockey: Kent J. Desormeaux Record: 10-0-4-2 STRENGTHS: With 10 starts, Sonneteer and State of Honor are the most experienced runners in the field. The Beyer Speed Figures earned by Sonneteer have moved up as his career has unfolded; he earned a career best last out. The numbers indicate he is improving. His trainer, Keith Desormeaux, knows how to manage a top horse. Exaggerator finished second in the 2016 Derby and then won the Preakness; Desormeaux also won the 2014 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile with Texas Red. Kent Desormeaux, the trainer’s brother, has ridden three Derby winners – Real Quiet, Fusaichi Pegasus, and Big Brown.

SIRE: Sprint champion Midnight Lute went to stud with the thought that given his pedigree (by dual classic winner Real Quiet) and his rangy conformation he would be more than a sire of sprinters. That generally has been the case, though he has not been a resounding success, having sired 18 stakes winners, just 3 percent of foals of racing age, from six crops. His best runners have done well at middle distances, such as Shakin It Up, Gimme Da Lute, Govenor Charlie, and Midnight Hawk, and his son Midnight Aria won the 1 1/4-mile Queen’s Plate. But his only two Grade 1 winners both won their Grade 1s at a mile or less.

WEAKNESSES: Sonneteer has never won a race. He would be the first maiden to win the Derby since Brokers Tip in 1933. Since then, all 10 maidens that ran in the Derby finished off the board. Sonneteer has raced in two graded stakes. He finished second at 112-1 in the Rebel with a rail-skimming trip. He subsequently finished fourth in the Arkansas Derby. His class is suspect. A closer, he needs a fast pace and a trouble-free trip in order to hit the board. In recent years, the Derby pace has softened. That does not benefit Sonneteer.

DAM: Ours is an unraced daughter of the somewhat obscure Half Ours, who stands in Louisiana and has sired no graded stakes winners in the United States among his 17 stakes winners here (he has a Puerto Rican champion who won a graded race). Ours is out of the high-class sprinter and multiple graded stakes winner Classy Mirage, dam of Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes winner Dublin.

BETTING VALUE: A win by Sonneteer is not impossible. It is unlikely. But he will be finishing, and at 50-1 might be worth a token wager. A win ticket on Sonneteer is likely destined to become a souvenir bookmark. But for bettors dabbling in the vertical exotics, Sonneteer is worth consideration because he will pick up the pieces.

OUTLOOK: The sire side leans toward sprints and middle distances, while the female family has produced all sprinters. Sonneteer has too much to overcome in his pedigree to be able to get the 1 1/4 miles of the Derby.
