Because of his late start and huge jump from a maiden sprint to his Holy Bull score, Zito is handling him very carefully. He is even keeping him at the quieter Palm Meadows until Derby week, feeling the colt trained at Churchill for a month last fall and broke his maiden there, so there is no rush to get there. There is always a risk having such a lightly raced horse as the top- ranked Derby horse, but he has certainly accomplished a lot in his four starts.

Brands (gr. I) and admitted he had no idea what to expect from Team Valor International‘s Animal Kingdom, who was about to make his first career start on dirt. Motion was well aware that no horse had ever won the Derby making his dirt debut. ―I just don‘t know,‖ Motion said. ―The statistics are all against him, I feel good about running the horse, but it‘s such an unknown. I love the horse, I love the way he worked over the dirt, and I love his attitude. He‘s got everything going for him. It‘s just that unknown.‖ But as Jim Morrison said, ―There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.‖ Later that evening, Animal Kingdom burst through one of those doors, and awaiting him on the other side was Kentucky Derby immortality. By powering down the Churchill Downs stretch to a 2 ¾-length victory in front of a record crowd of 164,658, the unknown had become known. Racing had a new star and a legitimate Triple Crown threat.

  • Animal Kingdom Eyes Championship 3Yo Honors in Belmont Stakes Kentucky Derby Winner Ran a Huge Second in Preakness Stakes
    May 21, 2011 ANIMAL KINGDOM EYES CHAMPIONSHIP 3YO HONORS IN BELMONT STAKES KENTUCKY DERBY WINNER RAN A HUGE SECOND IN PREAKNESS STAKES Animal Kingdom lost the Preakness Stakes at the break through no fault of his own and turned in a visually impressive display of talent and courage to get to within a half-length of Shackleford at the end of the second jewel in Thoroughbred racing‟s Triple Crown. When the gates sprung open, third choice Mucho Macho Man, who stands more than 17 hands, broke awkwardly, veering to his right, interfering with second favorite Dialed In, who in turn came over in the path of Animal Kingdom, who had broken half a step slow. The size of Mucho Mach Man, coupled with his erratic movement (the colt was reported to have lost a shoe for the second time in his last three races), made for a very untidy beginning to the Preakness Stakes. Johnny Velazquez, who has ridden the Leroidesanimaux colt in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, said “My colt was not fast out of the gate and that allowed Dialed In to move over on me. We got so far back, it was unbelievable. “When the kickback started hitting my colt in the face, he wasn‟t used to it at all. It kind of startled him. When he ran in the Derby, the kickback was only hitting him chest high, but in the Preakness it was different. It was coming into his face and eyes and I think it was stinging him. He sort of lost his focus for awhile.
