New Faces Across the Board
In the drama of Kentucky Derby 132 continues to evolve, you will find the stage filled with a refreshing cast new characters seeking the glory that is the Run for the Roses. Jockey legends Jerry Bailey, Gary Stevens and Pat Day, who among them mounted to six Derby winners have left scene to scene, John Velasquez, an heir to the vacuum left by these giants of the sport, is sidelined with a broken shoulder. Rising stars such as Rafael Bejarano, Garret Gomez and John McKee, and stalwarts such as Corey Nakatani and Alex Solis are poised to finally grab the brass ring. Perennial Derby trainers D. Wayne Lukas and Nick Zito have failed the audition, with no Derby mounts, replaced by upstart alternate, Michael Matz, Dan Hendricks, and Michael Trombetta who bring their respective horses Barbaro Brother Derek and Sweetnorthernsaint, refreshed and ready to tackle the mile and one quarter slugfest. But the most intriguing new faces on this Derby Day may well be that you will not see at Churchill Downs. Its impact can determine the outcome of this case wide open. Their names are reference Sweetsouthernsaint, point taken, Broken Vow, the fitness, King Cugat, and Strategic Mission, sires whose progeny will be represented at the Kentucky Derby for the first time, and they can win to gain the imprimatur father of a Kentucky Derby winner.
Reference, the father of Dan Hendricks training Brother Derek, is himself a son of the great classic runner Alydar, who won the hearts of racing fans with his memorable duels with Triple Crown winner Affirmed. Reference point was both a classified stakes winner at 1 1 / 8 miles and stakes placed sprinter classifieds, and in his first four crops to race has been a helpful father of California breds and a handful of stakes winners. Brother Derek is by far the most impressive son and is undoubtedly the highest category of contingent this year the West Coast. As talented and experienced as Brother Derek, Derby may be the place where they showed their shortcomings. In his only race outside of California and an area more than eight horses, the Breeder's Cup Juvenile in Belmont, finished fourth tired. With a penchant for getting a job in the post parade, jockey Alex Solis, Brother Derek should help find a way to handle the big noisy crowd at Churchill Downs. Nevertheless, Brother Derek's meteoric rise to prominence is a hopeful sign that Alydar, is brave blood has been achieved much needed recovery.
Sweetnorthernsaint, a son castrated stallion Sweetsouthernsaint Florida, has become a catch of the class in the mix of Derby. It seems that the greater the distance Sweetnorthernsaint races the better, and this should give anyone Derby disability something to think about. His jockey, Kent Desormeaux, virtually has stated that the mile and a half Belmont Stakes loss. Given the fact that the Belmont Stakes race is the rider more than a test of endurance, so be prepared to back up his bold words. Sweetsouthernsaint, with two crops to race, was a precocious two Year Old in the corridor of Florida, who never quite got the Derby trail due to injury. But as a son of the late prolific Santa Ball, the father of reigning Horse of the Year, Saint Liam, and Distaff champion Ashad, both of which were Grade 1 winners at a mile and a quarter, and a classic sports stay low dose rate of 1.22 self, sons Sweetsouthernsaint seem able to get the distance. Sweetnorthernsaint dose of 1.33 suggests the fruit does not fall far from the tree, and if the Michael Trombetta trained gelding gets a clean trip, earnings may be good.
Point taken, Broken Vow, fitness, Strategic Mission, and King Cugat are represented all horses in the Kentucky Derby by members of their first harvest, which no doubt pleases its breeding farms, but also adds an element of the unknown to the handicap calculation. Given point is a Maryland-bred son of Preakness and Belmont Stakes winner given point, and is owned by The Bob and Beverly Lewis Trust, which has won the Kentucky Derby twice, with Silver Charm and Charismatic. Point Determined, has beaten his head with the likes of Brother Derek, AP Warrior, and Bob and John for the entire winter in California, and enters the Derby with no bets victory to his credit. However, his second in driving the Santa Anita Derby, a series of bullet works since then, and with Rafael Bejarano in the irons, which is dangerous horse. Point Given entered the Kentucky Derby as the overwhelming favorite, and if it had not been subjected to the torrid pace of that race, the horse later in the year would have been the Triple Crown winner, a superstar career, and is worth much more than its share amount of $ 50,000. Bob Baffert, who trained at a given point and certain point, can be a bit more restrained these days, but with three live shots in the Derby this year, along with Sinister Minister, Bob and John, Louisville is in charge to bear. Point Determined A victory would also be a poignant epitaph and assembly for the purpose of Bob Lewis, one of the true gentlemen of careers, who died in February.
Broken Vow, the father of Steven Asmussen private training to vote, is a son of the unforgettable 1990 Derby winner unbridled also begat Kentucky winner of the Derby sharpening stone, Red Bullet won the Preakness and Belmont Stakes winner Empire Maker. Although private voting has run only twice this year, beaten by Ron's lawyer both times in Oaklawn Park, remains a seasoned horse with a qualified game win in the Gaza Churchill Downs and a recent bullet work, to boot. Broken Vow was a late development falling game winner with an impressive female family. His mother and tail dam, sired by Nijinsky II and Blushing Groom, respectively, producers were at stake. When you add Mr. prey Private Vow, bringing maternal grandfather, Deputy Prime Minister, you have a horse that, on paper, has a history Classic victories.
The father of the late closing Steppenwolfer, fitness, finished second in both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes, and is himself a son of Horse of the Year and a producer of classical AP Indy racer. Armed with a most intriguing of the genealogies, Fitness offers a variety of classics in the blood in his pedigree closely, as the aforementioned AP Indy, Derby winners Seattle Slew, Secretariat, and Northern Dancer, and inbreeding of Buckpasser. At four, the fitness gained two grade, the Jockey Club Gold Cup and the Hollywood Gold Cup and a second degree, the Breeder's Cup Saratoga, a mile and a quarter. More than anything, more anecdotal, much Steppenwolfer of a gentleman, was the big prize of a big event, a winner of the Triple Crown. Lawyer Ron Steppenwolfer may have had for [name of number of the rock band Steppenwolf] all winter at Oaklawn Park, but if the Derby pace is as controversial as expected, may be the magic carpet to the winner's circle.
Sailing their way into the Derby is Seaside Retreat, stakes winner in Canada, which also placed at the end Lane 2 Grade at Turfway Park Polytrack surface. Seaside Retreat father, King Cugat, was a winning game falling on the grass going 9 and 11 stadiums, and stakes graduates will put 12 stadiums. An impeccably bred son of Kingmambo, who sired Belmont Stakes winner Lemon Drop Kid, King Cugat Descendants seems much better suited to run a lot on the grass. However, recent bullet work at Churchill Downs Seaside Retreat has convinced his Canadian-based trainer, Mark Casse, and regular jockey, Patrick Husbands, for being in the Derby.
Showing Up, the slight, but the winner ran brave Lexington Stakes, is a son of Strategic Mission New York stallion whose first crop consists of a simple call colts 14. Barclay Tagg trains the undefeated Showing Up, the lower half of Roy and Gretchen Jackson of Lael Stables 'Two two Derby Horse Trainer delegation that includes another undefeated colt Barbaro, possible morning line favorite is trained by Michael Matz and will be mounted by the dangerous always Edgar Prado. Tagg, who caught lightning in a bottle with the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Funny Cide, certainly has his work cut out for him. It not only shows up having only three career starts, but his father, Strategic Vision, a son of Mr. Prospector, was a turf miler and only one is good at that. The name of the old Woody Allen line that "80 percent of success is showing up, "Showing Up will have to do much more than that if that is the Jackson family that takes the winner's circle.
As difficult as the track Derby is just showing up is certainly an achievement. Getting to the finish line first, however, is the Holy Grail, and in this year's edition, new New faces may be only a smile in the winner's circle.
