Pletcher Jockey: John R. Velazquez Unbeaten at three, the Todd Pletcher-trained son of Bodemeister lived up to the potential he showed in the Florida Derby with a superb Kentucky Derby victory. Always Dreaming has early speed and a great turn of foot that he unleashed at the top of the stretch to take him to Derby victory. That combination usually works well in the Preakness Stakes as well. Is he good enough to keep the Triple Crown alive? Many think he is. CLASSIC EMPIRE Owner: John C. Oxley Trainer: Mark E. Casse Jockey: Julien R. Leparoux Last season’s champion 2-year-old male has had a difficult sophomore season, punctured with injuries and training difficulties. Some hard work and clever thinking from trainer Mark Casse got him back on track and he bounced back to win the Arkansas Derby, but his troubles continued in the Kentucky Derby when he was badly bumped at the start. His effort to finish fourth that day was an extremely worthy one. The big question is what he’s capable of if he gets a clean run. CONQUEST MO MONEY Owner: Judge Lanier Racing Trainer: Miguel Hernandez Jockey: Jorge Carreno The most interesting Preakness runner that didn’t contest the Kentucky Derby is arguably this $8,500 yearling from New Mexico. After winning his first three starts, Conquest Mo Money ran second in the Sunland Derby before putting up a fantastic effort from on the speed in the Arkansas Derby, beating all but Classic Empire, relegating Derby runner-up Lookin At Lee to third. Not nominated for the Triple Crown, his connections have put up $150,000 to run here. He may well be good enough to earn it back. LOOKIN AT LEE Owner: L and N Racing, LLC Trainer: Steve M. Asmussen Jockey: Corey J. Lanerie Fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, second in the Kentucky Derby: Lookin At Lee knows how to perform on thoroughbred racing’s biggest stages. The Steve Asmussen-trained son of Lookin At Lucky made up many lengths along the rail in the Derby and was the only horse within seven lengths of Always Dreaming at the finish. The shorter distance of the Preakness may not suit him, but he should be making up ground when the others are tiring.

(Friday, June 28, 2019) – When trainer Merrill Scherer attended Friday’s races at Churchill Downs, one of the biggest surprises met him when family and friends from across the country surprised the veteran conditioner for an advance celebration of his 80 th birthday. “I can’t believe I was swindled in to coming over for this,” Merrill joked. “This is unbelievable. I can’t believe everyone around the racetrack was able to keep their mouths shut and not tell me. This is a moment I will never forget.” Five of Scherer’s sons attended Friday, including fellow trainer Gary Scherer , who flew in from Minnesota where he currently is stabled at Canterbury Park. “The Scherers typically don’t see each other more than once a year,” said Clay Scherer , Merrill’s son and Kentucky-based bloodstock agent. “To get everyone together, including a lot of his owners, is very special.” Scherer began his training career in 1962 and has been at it ever since. Scherer has spent the majority of his career based in the Midwest with stints in Illinois, Kentucky and Louisiana. It wasn’t until 1993 when he won his first graded stakes race with Little Bro Lantis in the Stars and Stripes Handicap (GIII) at Arlington. Since statistics started being regularly kept for horse racing in 1976, Scherer has won 1,410 races with earnings of more than $24.6 million.

  • Funny Cide's Epic Kentucky Derby Victory Is Ten Years
    Funny Cide’s Epic Kentucky Derby Victory is Ten Years Old By Bill Heller Can it be ten years since a three-year-old gelding named Funny Cide, and a yellow school bus carrying a group of high school friends who owned him, rearranged the racing industry’s position on New York- breds? “I don’t believe it,” his retired Hall of Fame jockey Jose Santos said Tuesday. “It went by too fast.” Funny Cide’s trainer, Barclay Tagg, agreed: “I do have trouble believing that.” Asked what’s the first thing that comes to his mind when someone asks him about Funny Cide, Jose said, “That he was the best three-year-old in my racing career.” These days, Jose has a new career running a feed company, Instride International, which began operating in 2012 and now serves three Florida tracks: Calder, Gulfstream Park and Palm Meadows. “Basically, I’m running the whole thing,” Jose said. “I’ve been selling to the trainers. They are friends of mine.” His client list includes a bunch of New York trainers who winter in Florida, including Todd Pletcher, John Kimmel, Linda Rice, Rick Violette and John Terranova. Funny Cide, a son of Distorted Humor out of Belle’s Good Cide by Slewacide, was bred by WinStar Farm and foaled at Joe and Anne McMahon’s Thoroughbred farm just outside Saratoga Springs. He was originally purchased for $22,000 before Tagg bought him for $75,000 for Sackatoga Stable, an entity formed when several old friends got together for a Memorial Day barbecue in their home town of Sackets Harbor.
