MEDINA SPIRIT FINE AFTER WIN HOW TO BUY A DERBY Zedan Racing's (Protonico) exited his win in WINNER FOR $1,000 Saturday's GI in fine shape, according to trainer Bob Baffert, who said he would wait a week before committing the colt to the May 15 GI Preakness S. AHe came out of it well,@ Baffert said Sunday morning. AIt takes about a week to , so I=m going to come back next weekend and see. But I don=t see anything discouraging right now.@ Baffert continued, ACan he win the Triple Crown? I don=t know. But he=s the Derby winner, and that=s all that matters. I coming in here, thinking, I wasn=t sure [if Medina Spirit could win the Derby], everything had to go perfect for him. We were going to go to the lead, and see what happened. What if they challenged him? He made the lead pretty easily, for him, and the other speed horse didn=t break [Rock Your World]. That=s what it=s like in the Derby. You have to get the trip; the other speed horse didn=t get the trip.@ Cont. p5 Medina Spirit returns to Derby winner's circle | Coady The Week in Review, by Bill Finley As consignor Christy Whitman remembers, it was deathly quiet IN TDN TODAY when Medina Spirit (Protonico) entered the ring as a yearling at TAKES G1 QIPCO 1000 GUINEAS the 2019 OBS Mixed sale.

A few minutes later, Medina Spirit would be hers, forever remembered as the GI Kentucky Derby winner who sold for $1,000 as a yearling. It=s the umpteenth reminder about how beautifully unpredictable this sport can be. The Derby field included horses who sold for $525,000, $725,000, $650,000, $950,000, plus a handful of beautifully bred homebreds. But these sons of super sires Tapit, Into Mischief, Curlin and others didn=t have what it took to win the Kentucky Derby. A bargain-basement colt did. AThat=s what is so great about this sport,@ Whitman said. AAnybody could have bought the Derby horse. Anybody could have put up $1,000 and had a Kentucky Derby winner. That=s what makes so special.@ One of Whitman=s exercise riders, Jose Gallego, asked her to see if she could buy on his behalf an inexpensive horse that could be sold for a profit at the 2-year-old sales the following year. Whitman had a small budget and modest plans for the purchase. Cont. p3 PUBLISHER & CEO Sue Morris Finley @suefinley [email protected]

The sire, Protonico, who never won a Grade I race and stood at the time for $5,000, was hardly in demand. And on the dam=s side you had to go back three generations before finding any black-type. This was the first foal from a mare, Mongolian Changa (Brilliant Speed), who won one of six starts and earned just $25,970. AHe had all the things I look for,@ she said. AHe was really well balanced, had a really good hip and top line, was decently correct, athletic and had a good walk to him. I really liked the colt and nobody was looking at him and that was because of his page. With the mare there was pretty much no black-type and it was her first foal. I didn=t even know who Prontonico was. I had to look him up. This was a really nice colt, pretty well put together, but I knew he wasn=t going to bring much because absolutely no one was looking at him.@

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 11 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • MAY 3, 2021

AHe sold for the $35,000, basically, because he had a good work,@ Whitman said. AIf he hadn=t had that, he would have been a $10,000 2-year-old. I thought $35,000 for a $1,000 yearling was a pretty good turnaround.@ Whitman will occasionally keep a horse and race them, but she never gave that a thought with Medina Spirit. AIf I had kept the horse and raced him, he would have never made it to the Derby,@ she said. AIt takes a lot of things coming together to make that happen. He=s a good horse, but it is important that he wound up with a good trainer in Bob Baffert. Everything fell into place for him.@ Whitman may never again come across another horse like Medina Spirit, but she will keep trying. She looks for horses that have been overlooked for one reason or another and doesn=t worry about their breeding. AOne thing I=ve always been adamant about is that a lot of people overlook a horse for what I would say are stupid reasons, like their page,@ she said. AThe horses don=t know what their pedigree looks like. They don=t know what you paid for them. Just because a horse has a great pedigree does not necessarily mean they are going to be a great horse. I very much go for the individual. If I like the horse I don=t care about their page. It=s always easier to sell a horse who is an athlete, whether it has the pedigree or not.@ Speed Wins It=s no coincidence that Bob Baffert=s two most recent Derby winners won the race in wire-to-wire fashion. Baffert and jockey John Velazquez clearly understand the importance of using early speed as a weapon in the Derby.

Medina Spirit takes field into first turn | Coady Photography

In five prior starts, Medina Spirit went wire to wire only once, but there he was on the lead at every call for the Derby. Of course, it didn=t hurt that Rock Your World (Candy Ride {Arg}) got off to a poor start. TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 11 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • MAY 3, 2021

A year earlier, it was the same story. (Into Mischief) wasn=t always on the lead in his starts prior to the 2020 Kentucky Derby. But in his Derby, he led every step of the way under Velazquez and had a relatively easy time holding off the heavy favorite Tiz the Law (Constitution).

Kornacki Picks the Winner Medina Spirit wasn=t an easy horse to come up with, but at least one person from the NBC team was not fooled. Working his first-ever Kentucky Derby broadcast, Steve Kornacki nailed it and was the only one from the NBC talent pool who picked the winner. Kornacki is best known for his work as a national correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC, but is also a long-time racing fan and horseplayer. He brought a lot of insights to the broadcast, in particular his explanation of how the $2-million- plus win bet on Essential Quality (Tapit) by Jim McIngvale affected the odds on the other horses.

Derby Wrap-Up (cont. from p1) Of his record-breaking seventh victory in the Derby, Baffert said, AI stand here in front of you guys, and you don=t know how much I appreciate winning this, especially as you get older. It gets tougher as you get older...I=d to have 10 in there if I could, but you know that won=t happen. To have one who has a chance. To win it with him, it=s a Cinderella story, he=s just a blue-collar horse, just digging in. He reminded me of ....It=s another Kentucky Derby dream that came true.@

Trainer Brad Cox was enjoying a quiet Sunday following his busy Derby day. The Louisville native saddled his first two horses in the race, with Mandaloun (Into Mischief) finishing second and race favorite Essential Quality (Tapit) running fourth. AIt was a wild experience being in the Derby for the first time,@ Cox said. AIn every previous Derby I=ve attended, I=ve been a fan. I=ve seen the media interviews, the playing of >My Old Kentucky Home= and everything leading up to the race. Being in the race, all of those things are sort of a blur. You=re so focused on the job at hand. We were so grateful that both of our horses ran as well as they did.

MOTHER EARTH COMES COMES OF AGE IN THE GANAY THROUGH IN THE GUINEAS There was more Boudot magic at ParisLongchamp on Sunday as APC@ made all to draw the sting from all rivals and land the G1 with the rapid improver Mare Australis (Ire) ( {GB}). Always highly-regarded and now an entirely different proposition from the greenhorn of last summer, Gestut Schlenderhan=s homebred had offered a glimpse of what was to come when second on his return to Skalleti (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) in the 10-furlong G2 Prix d=Harcourt at this venue Apr. 11. Asked a new question by his rider on this sternest test of his ability so far, the 5-2 second favourite responded by stretching every rival including (GB) ( {Ire}) who was in closest attendance. When he kicked in early straight, he turned the screw too tight on =s 9-5 market-leader raider and kept galloping true to the line to beat the emergent Gold Trip (Fr) (Outstrip {GB}) by 1 3/4 lengths.

Whereas Ballydoyle=s Santa Barbara (Ire) ( {GB}) had created all the electricity in the build-up to a Classic which lost some key cast members along the way, it was the stable=s hard- working journeywoman who nestled under the radar and emerged clear-best to uphold the prime formlines of 2020. Successful in the G3 Irish EBF = Sprint S. and third in the course-and-distance G1 Fillies= Mile before ending up second in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, Derrick Smith=s colour-bearer was an over- 10-1 shot boasting the second-highest official rating in this field. Switched off towards the rear early racing on the far side, the bay arrived full of running out wide to take the lead 1 1/2 furlongs from the finish as Santa Barbara had an understandable moment of greenness. As the field drove to the line spread across the track, Mother Earth was already gone beyond recall to give O=Brien a seventh renewal and fifth since 2016. A length second was Saffron Beach (Ire) ( {GB}), who denied Fev Rover (Ire) (Gutaifan {Ire}) by a neck with the 5-2 joint-favourite Santa Barbara nosed out in fourth.
