He became the undisputed king of New York, winning the Count Fleet Stakes by daylight and then duplicating that effort in the re-positioned Withers Stakes, picking up valuable graded earnings. He established his 2-year-old form finishing second to Union Rags in the Champagne Stakes (gr. I) in only his second career start. He began his career with a six-length romp at Saratoga. Nothing flashy about him, but he’s all business and very dependable. It’ll take a big effort to dethrone him in New York. Seattle Slew, 1974 Bold Reasoning A.P.

Even though he was a maiden going into the Sam F. Davis Stakes (gr. III), he still was the wise-guy horse, getting bet down to 9-2. The optimism was justified as he rallied in the stretch to take over from Gulfstream Park Derby winner Reveron and then drew 2 1 clear to win by 1¼ lengths in a respectable 1:44 ⁄5 for the 1 ⁄16 miles. Trained by Eddie Kenneally for Coolmore’s Michael Tabor and Mrs. John Magnier, he no doubt has a lot of room for improvement. But he’ll be facing much better from now on.

But I can’t get too excited about Imsodear the Sam F. Davis winner at this point; it didn’t look like there was a lot that he Northern Dancer, Nearctic beat, other than Prospective. That’s not to say he won’t improve, but my attention 1961 is elsewhere right now. Northern Fashion, Natalma 1980 Fashionable Trick, Buckpasser facts & notes... 1973 Jen’s Fashion, ch, 1990 Fashion Verdict ■ A son of Giant’s Causeway, Battle Hardened pulled off the unusual feat of Practitioner, 1973 Dr. Fager breaking his maiden in graded-stakes company—capturing the Sam F. Be Fine With Me, Top Round Davis Stakes (gr. III) on Feb. 4 at Tampa Bay Downs. 1983 Becoming Bee, 1979 Verbatim ■ Trainer Eddie Kenneally sent out his first Triple Crown starter in last year’s Bee for Me Kentucky Derby (gr. I).

Their best finish came in 2002 when Johannes- burg—the 2001 Bessemer Trust Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I) winner—finished eighth. ■ What impressed Kenneally most about Battle Hardened’s score in the Sam F. Davis Stakes was his “professionalism.” Despite being in tight among horses, Battle Hardened remained poised. “He showed a little bit of gameness and a little bit of toughness, like you want to see going forward to the bigger races down the road,” Kenneally said. ■5044BrisnetcomLifetimePPs Battle Hardened is currently based at Palm Meadows Training Center, Boynton Beach, Fla.

Normally would not put a maiden winner on here, but this is no ordinary maiden 2 winner. It wasn’t his 9¼-length margin of victory and 1:34 ⁄5 mile as much as his 4 impressive feat of running his second quarter in :23 ⁄5 and then running each sub- 2 sequent quarter faster than the one before, coming home his final quarter in :23 ⁄5. Earned a 99 Beyer speed figure and did it on his own with no urging. There’s no telling how good he could be.

With Godolphin having several Derby contenders, it’s only appropriate for Coolmore to join in on the action, and they have an improving, well-bred colt who is just now coming into his own. He was impressive winning a division of the Southwest Stakes (gr. III) after breaking from post 11, drawing off from the best the locals had to offer. Although he looked more like a Derby horse than Secret Circle, it must be noted he did run a full second slower than Secret Circle, who is a much faster horse.

Showed a great deal of promise breaking his maiden going a mile at Churchill Downs and then finishing a game second, beaten a half-length, in the Gulfstream 1 Park Derby. But ran an inexplicably bad race in a 1 ⁄16-mile allowance/optional claimer. Because the race was run over a wet sealed track, he may have hated the 2 going and deserves one more chance on a fast surface. His :48 ⁄5 breeze following that race was a good sign.

This highly promising son of Bernardini is in the same predicament as Casual Trick, running dead-last, beaten nearly 20 lengths, in the Holy Bull Stakes (gr. III) over a sloppy sealed track. He previously ran a strong second to Algorithms in an allowance race after breaking his maiden by 4¾ lengths at Aqueduct in his career debut. He also deserves another chance on a fast track. He has worked since, 4 breezing a half in :50 ⁄5. Seattle Slew, 1974 Bold Reasoning A.P.

He’s the consummate pro. In his three victories—a maiden score, the Best Pal Stakes (gr. II), and Norfolk Stakes (gr. I)—he was never touched with the whip. Jock hit him in the San Vicente Stakes (gr. II), even though it was only a seven- furlong prep, and he ducked in twice, changing leads each time. He changes leads smoothly and just keeps coming in the stretch. He had trouble in both his defeats last year, the Del Mar Futurity (gr. I) and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I), and was beaten only a length each time. He’s bred to run all day, and his grinding style of running should serve him better as the distances stretch out.

He’s most likely a grass horse, but his gutsy nose victory in the El Camino Real Derby (gr. III) on the Tapeta surface at least gives him some credibility and a li- cense to try the dirt again. He’s had one good race on dirt and one bad one in his first two career starts, but his sire, Scat Daddy, as good a grass sire as he’s been, did win the Florida Derby (gr. I), as did his broodmare sire Thunder Gulch, so his pedigree shouldn’t stop him from moving forward on the dirt.

He’s one of several undefeated horses trained by Todd Pletcher and may be the most brilliant of all of them. The son of Discreet Cat has won both his starts by a com- bined 15¼ lengths. After breaking his maiden by 9¾ lengths against Florida- breds going 5½ furlongs, he stretched out to a mile in open company and drew off to a front-running 5½-length score over a classy bunch of allowance horses. Pletcher said he has great mechanics and is very athletic, and he still hasn’t gotten to the Storm Bird bottom of him, in the mornings or in his races.

Mr. Prospector, 1970 Raise a Native Pletcher says he’s seen no indication that the colt won’t stretch out two turns, but stretch- Gold Digger ing out to classic distances is another story. May be a factor in Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Gone West, 1984 Youth S. (gr. II) and possibly even the Florida Derby (gr.

He’s up to seven furlongs in his works and should be nearing his 3-year-old debut. The son of Broken Vow, stabled at Laurel Park, won back-to-back races at Delaware Park and Parx Racing & Casino before closing fast to finish fourth, beaten less than a length in the Remsen Stakes (gr.

There’s an awful lot to like about this son of Pulpit, who won an allowance race the same day as the Holy Bull Stakes (gr. III), defeating the classy stakes-placed Take Charge Indy, who had opened a big lead on the turn and finished 13¾ lengths ahead of the third horse. He broke his maiden by 12¾ lengths in the slop at Bel- mont, so he has yet to win on a fast track. But his third, beaten three-quarters of a length, in the Remsen Stakes (gr. II) showed he can run big on any surface. Like Algorithms, he has beautiful action and definitely a look of class. Seattle Slew, 1974 Bold Reasoning A.P.

He came home well enough to finish nearly three lengths ahead of the third horse while never threatening the winner. By Empire Maker, out of an A.P.

Put a colt of this quality in the hands of Jonathan Sheppard and you have a serious Derby contender who still has tremendous room for improvement. But by missing the Hutcheson Stakes (gr. II) and pointing for the Swale Stakes (gr. III), it means Ever So Lucky will have only two Derby preps and only one two-turn prep. For a horse with only two races under him that’s an awful lot to ask, especially when his pedigree doesn’t exactly scream a mile and a quarter. After breaking his maiden in his career 1 debut going 6½ furlongs at Churchill Downs, he stretched out to 1 ⁄16 miles and ran a Siberian Express, Caro strong second to the undefeated Gemologist in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (gr. 1981 II), racing on or near the lead throughout.

With Bob Baffert suffering a setback in the Robert B. Lewis Stakes (gr. II), maybe this son of Giant’s Causeway can step up to No. 1. He broke his maiden at a mile 2 by 1¾ lengths in a sharp 1:35 ⁄5 and the runner-up, Zackn’mat, came back to break his maiden impressively last week. Then he ran a talented colt, Consulado, into the 3 ground in a mile allowance race and drew off to a 5¾-length win in 1:34 ⁄5, despite not changing leads. There’s no telling how good he can be. Owner Kaleem Shah paid Northern Dancer $950,000 for him as a yearling, so he’s been highly touted since he was a baby.

Although he’s undefeated in three starts and is two-for-two at Churchill Downs, including a victory in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (gr. II), his inactivity has enabled several others in his barn to move ahead of him on many of the Derby lists. WinStar, as it did with Derby winner Super Saver, sent him to the farm for a little freshening over the winter, and we’ll see whether the results are the same. He has good stalking speed and twice has beaten a good horse in Timely Tally, In Reality who is now on the shelf.

He is the champ and Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I) winner, but his first start back in the Holy Bull Stakes (gr. III) suggests there is still work to be done on him, mainly getting him to settle early in his races. He can’t get away with running :22 flat second quarters if he hopes to get a mile and a quarter on the first Saturday in May. He obviously is very fast and very talented, but one-dimensional horses usually do not win the Derby. His owner said the gray colt will race with his tail Seattle Slew and mane painted in his colors.

You have to give him one more chance, based on his victories in the CashCall Fu- turity (gr. I) and Real Quiet Stakes, but he was a big disappointment in the Robert B. Lewis Stakes (gr. II) as the 3-2 favorite, coming up empty when set down for his run. He did look as if he might get a second win after turning for home but stumbled badly, unseating his rider, after being interfered with. His stakes victories were on a synthetic surface, but he did break his maiden impressively on the dirt at Santa Siberian Express, Caro Anita, so that can’t be used as an excuse. 1981 In Excess, 1987 Indian Call Kantado, 1976 Saulingo Vi jason shandler’s Indian Charlie, b, 1995 Modest Leo Castelli, 1984 Sovereign Dancer analysis Threat Soviet Sojourn, 1989 Suspicious Native Political Parfait, 1984 Diplomat Way Peach Butter Not exactly sure what happened in the Robert B.

He’s on here strictly off reputation as trainer Larry Jones is very high on him. As of this writing, he still hasn’t been farther than six furlongs but scheduled to get his first stretch-out in Risen Star Stakes (gr. II). The son of Proud Citizen isn’t inun- dated with stamina, but his Beyer speed figs keep increasing with each start, and he showed the ability to rate off the pace in his last race. His works, including a six-furlong bullet, indicate a horse who is sharp and ready for a big effort, if he can get the distance against some classy colts.

Not only will he be facing tougher, but he will also try two turns for the first time. We won’t know anything until Feb. 25, but Jones has hinted that Northern Prospect, Mr. Prospector 1976 the colt has at least as much potential as stablemate Mr. Bowling. Time will tell.

Jones. True to Romeo, 1977 Juliets Nurse “When I first started training for him, it seemed like he always had a Jones Silver True, 1964 Hail to Reason trainer working for him. Bert Jones. Gary Jones. And then all of a sudden, Silver Fog it seemed like he was going to other named horsemen. So I couldn’t let that happen.” ■ The first horse Larry Jones trained for Gov. Jones was Proud Spell, winner of the Eclipse Award for champion 3-year-old filly in 2008. ■ Like Proud Spell, Mark Valeski is a Brereton Jones homebred son of Proud Citizen. Proud Citizen finished second in the 2002 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) and third in the Preakness Stakes (gr. I). ■ Mark Valeski was named for an employee at a hotel in Bal Harbour, Fla., where the governor and his family have vacationed for the past four decades. Gov.

Distance is the big question for this son of Hard Spun, who has yet to go farther than 6½ furlongs. He’ll get his distance test in the San Felipe Stakes (gr. II). There’s no questioning his speed as he broke his maiden at Santa Anita in 1:08 flat for the six furlongs and closed fast in the final furlong to win the 6½-furlong San Pedro 1 Stakes in 1:14 ⁄5. He is inbred 5x4 to Hail to Reason, and his tail-female family is loaded with stamina influences, so the stretch-out shouldn’t pose a problem based on his pedigree.

He was very impressive breaking his maiden at Delaware Park last year and fol- 1 lowed that up with an even more impressive 7¼-length romp in the 1 ⁄16-mile Dover Stakes. He was given three months off following a third in the Iroquois Stakes (gr. III) and returned with a gutsy victory in the Lecomte Stakes (gr. III) at Fair Grounds. His Beyers haven’t been all that fast, but he looks to have a lot of room for improvement. And not many get them ready better than Larry Jones.

He wasn’t nominated to the Triple Crown, even though he was impressive winning the Turfway Prevue S. and WEBN S., the latter by 7½ lengths. Those races were on Polytrack and he did run poorly on the dirt in the Kentucky Jockey Club S. (gr. II). Prior to that, however, he broke his maiden at Hoosier Park on dirt. His pedigree is more blue-collar, but the way he’s run in his first two starts at Turfway Park, he’s not going to be any pushover in the Vinery Racing Spiral S. (gr. III), won last year by even- tual Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) winner Animal Kingdom.

It looks as if Kelly Breen has himself another quality 3-year-old following last year’s triumph in the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) with Ruler On Ice. My Adonis gets plenty of stamina from his sire Pleasantly Perfect, but his dam is by Elusive Quality, who still is a speed influence despite siring Smarty Jones. My Adonis doesn’t run like a sprinter and showed a good deal of quality coming from 20 lengths back to finish third in the Holy Bull Stakes (gr. III) over a speed-favoring sloppy, sealed track. He broke his maiden at Monmouth and won the Jean Lafitte Stakes at Delta Downs, His Majesty, 1968 Ribot both by big margins, so he definitely has the potential to be a major player.

He seems to be the buzz horse in Southern California after winning the Sham Stakes (gr. III) coming off a maiden victory. Both races were almost carbon cop- ies of each other, as he tracked a fast pace, made up a couple of lengths in the final furlong, and ran down the leader with great determination, winning by three-quarters of a length and a half-length. He’s a big, tall, long-striding colt who still has a lot of improving to do, and who knows how good he’ll be once Storm Bird he fills into that frame.

The son of Malibu Moon showed a lot of promise in Canada last year, winning the Grey Stakes (Can-III) in his two-turn debut. After a last-place finish in the Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I), he captured the seven-furlong Pasco Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs and then ran an excellent second in the Sam F. Davis Stakes (gr. III), despite breaking from post 11and going wide on both turns. He still hasn’t reached an 80 Beyer, so he has to improve his speed figures. He obviously loves Tampa, and could be tough in the Tampa Bay Derby (gr. II). Seattle Slew, 1974 Bold Reasoning A.P.

If you throw out his Breeders’ Cup race on a Maximova, 1980 heavy track, he’s never run a bad race. Probably moved too early in the Sam F. Baracala Davis, and he was coming on hard in the final yards. I like him better than the Deputy Minister, Vice Regent winner.

Seven starts, seven times in the money, including seconds in the Smarty Jones Stakes at Oaklawn and Remington Springboard Mile Stakes at Remington Park. But might have been exposed in the Southwest Stakes (gr. III) against better-caliber horses. The son of Cactus Ridge had seen his Beyer figures increase with every start, and his 93 in the Smarty Jones makes him competitive with most of the other top 3-year-olds on his best day. He was forced to go very wide while the winner slipped through along the rail. He has shown good early speed but has developed into a horse that is most Storm Bird effective coming from off the pace.

Like Liaison, Rousing Sermon’s reputation took a major blow when he could do no better than a well-beaten fourth in the Robert B. Lewis Stakes (gr. II) at odds of 3-1. He was placed third via disqualification, but was not involved in the incident. If you’re willing to throw that race out, he did run well in his seconds to Liaison in the CashCall Futurity (gr. I) and Real Quiet Stakes, but those were on a synthetic surface. He did, however, win the Cal Cup Juvenile on the dirt at Santa Anita.

Year after year we get caught up in the Northern California form, and year after year those horses fail to make much of an impact on the Derby, especially with Golden Gate now using a synthetic surface. He looked very impressive winning the Califor- nia Derby and Gold Rush Stakes with scintillating stretch runs but came up empty against better company in the El Camino Real Derby (gr. III). What is most impres- sive is his pedigree, by Giant’s Causeway, out of a Grindstone mare. So there is no question about his stamina. He did break his maiden on dirt at Santa Rosa but still Northern Dancer has to prove he can duplicate his form and that big stretch kick at major dirt tracks.

It’s encouraging to see him back on the work tab. From a visual standpoint, he was as impressive a 2-year-old as we saw last year, especially his turn of foot, his profession- alism down the stretch, and the way he opens up on his competition. He turned in an explosive early move in the Delta Downs Jackpot (gr. III) and was actually under a pull when he nearly ran up over horses’ backs on the turn. He also showed that accel- eration when he bounded clear of his rivals in his six-length win in the Garden State Stakes at Monmouth Park. So far, we like everything we’ve seen of him.

He turned in a big stretch run to win the Arlington-Washington Futurity (gr. III) in only his second career start. His subsequent sixth in the Breeders’ Futurity (gr. I) was better than it looks on paper, and he came out this year with a strong third, beaten only a half-length, in the Lecomte Stakes (gr. III), rallying from way out in the middle of the track.

He’s been working slowly at Palm Meadows and is up to five-eighths. He is a tough competitor who in two starts has shown he likes to be on the lead. But we don’t think he’s necessarily a confirmed front-runner. He has proved to be a tough horse to pass in the stretch, and was very game in the Remsen Stakes (gr. II), miss- ing by three-quarters of a length, while finishing ahead of El Padrino.

He’s now two-for-two following a workmanlike victory in a mile allowance race over a sloppy sealed track at Gulfstream that seemed to take its toll on many of the performances that day. Although he won by only 1¼ lengths, he defeated a talented colt in Unbridled Minister, who finished six lengths ahead of the third horse in what appeared on paper to be a very strong field. By Smart Strike out of a Pleasant Colony mare, he should only get stronger the farther he goes. With only Native Dancer two career starts he’s playing catch-up, but he’s proved he’s a quality colt with a Raise a Native, 1961 great deal of upside.

He’ll now go to the Tampa Bay Derby (gr. II) Sun Colony, 1968 Sunrise Flight where he’ll be one of the favorites. Big negatives for me are that he is a May 12 Colonial Minstrel, gr/ Colonia foal and didn’t start as a 2-year-old. Not ideal for a Derby winner. Maybe he is ro, 1994 Pletcher’s first Preakness S.

This well-bred son of A.P. Indy is still very much a work in progress. His first three career starts were over Polytrack, at Arlington and Keeneland, and he ran well enough, destroying a maiden field and then making a huge move in the Arlington-Washington Futurity (gr.

Looked to be the most talented 2-year-old last year off impressive scores in the Sara- toga Special (gr. II) and Champagne S. (gr. I). In the latter he displayed his professional- ism and athleticism by changing course on two occasions and still blowing away his field by 5¼ lengths. He does have one bad habit of ducking out in the stretch on occa- sion. He got away with it in the Saratoga Special but not in the Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I). Those antics, along with going wide every step of the way (he ran 78 feet farther than the victorious Hansen), not only cost him the race, which he lost by a head, but the 2-year-old championship. If he’s gotten over that stunt with matu- Northern Dancer, Nearctic 1961 rity, he is going to be awfully tough to handle on the Derby trail.

What the experts say...

steve haskin’s rating 6

This son of Mizzen Mast relished the stretch-out to two turns, winning a mile and 70-yard maiden race at Fair Grounds in the slop by 1¼ lengths in his second career start. That race, although solid, hardly looked like it would set him up for a victory in the Lecomte Stakes (gr. III), but he almost pulled it off, rallying from between horses to be beaten a head by Mr. Bowling in a three-horse charge to the wire in a 13-horse field. Trained by Steve Asmussen, he looks like a colt who is only just Fortino II beginning to show his potential as his Beyers have increased with each start. Caro, 1967 Cozzene, 1980 Chambord Ride the Trails, 1971 Prince John Wildwook jason shandler’s Mizzen Mast, gr/ro, 1998 Top Graustark, 1963 Ribot analysis Contender Kinema, 1983 Flower Bowl Mrs. Peterkin, 1965 Tom Fool It’s a little bit of a stretch for me to put him in this group, but I loved what I saw Legendra in the Lecomte. Showed talent and heart in that race, as he was passed on the turn Majestic Light, 1973 Majestic Prince then fought his way out of a tough spot. Didn’t change leads until very late. Now we need to see if he’ll improve in the Risen Star Stakes (gr. II), where he’ll meet El Wavering Monarch, Irradiate 1979 Padrino and Mr. Bowling again, among others. Uncommitted, 1974 Buckpasser Fees Waived, dkb/br, Lady Be Good facts & notes... 1997 Copelan, 1980 Tri Jet Susan’s Girl ■ Rabbi Daniel Glanz, a friend of Zayat Stables racing manager Justin Profit System, 1988 Crozier Zayat, aspired to be a rap artist while growing up. His nickname was Miami Queen, 1979 “Dagger.” Z Dager was named as an homage to Glanz’ alter ego. Miami Mood ■ Zayat Stables holds Z Dager’s sire, Mizzen Mast, in high regard. Mizzen Mast also sired, notably, California-based graded stakes winner Mizdirection—owned by sports talk personality Jim Rome. ■ Trainer Steve Asmussen teamed with Zayat Stables to send out Nehro to finish second in last year’s Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I). ■ Justin Zayat lauds Z Dager’s comparatively cool demeanor. Nehro, according to Zayat, was far more high-strung and much more of a handful for Asmussen. Z Dager, on the other hand, “always trains forwardly.” ■ Z Dager is currently based at the Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots in New Orleans, La. 5044risnet.comLifetimePPs

It just took a while for anyone outside of Louisville to take note. It was eight years before the track was officially named “Churchill Downs,” another 20 years before Twin Spires topped a new grandstand, 28 years before the racetrack became profitable, and 50 years before the Derby earned its “Run for the Roses” moniker. Churchill Downs racetrack was or- ganized as a Kentucky corporation in 1928 and officially became known as Churchill Downs Inc. in 1942.

Col. Matt Winn — “Mr. Derby” Enter Matt Winn, who led a syndi- cate that took the reins of the strug- gling facility in 1902 and eventually brought the racetrack and its signature race to a level of international acclaim virtually unmatched by any other U.S. sporting event. Winn was an innova- tor, promoter, and champion of the sport who is credited with making the Kentucky Derby what it is today. During Winn’s tenure Churchill Downs racetrack hosted state fairs at the facility, locomotive collisions in the infield, and auto races on the race- track. Even the first recorded flight in Kentucky is tied to Churchill Downs, when pilot Glenn Curtiss, founder of Curtiss-Wright Aviation, shipped a plane in by train, assembled it at the track and took off from the infield. Winn is also credited with bringing pari-mutuel machines to the race- track in 1908, Derby radio broadcasts in 1925, and the military—Sherman tanks and all—to the infield’s “Camp Winn” in 1942. His efforts helped draw tens of thousands, including many celebrities, to Churchill Downs each first Saturday in May. Fittingly, m . eberhardt

Col. Matt Winn of Churchill Downs is alleged to have credited Pimlico’s Billy Riggs as the savior of Eastern rac- ing at this time. It was Riggs’ use of the less-sinful “French Pools,” or pari-mutuel ma- chines, in 1913 as opposed to the controversial bookmakers and their blackboards, that preserved racing at Pimlico during this turbulent time in racing. Later Pimlico be- came the first racetrack in the country to utilize an electric starting gate. During its rich history, the racetrack has enjoyed being the only track in the United States to be honored by the adjournment of the U.S. House of Representatives for the first and only time in his- tory in 1877 to watch a race featuring Parole, Ten Broeck and Tom Ochiltree. The race became known as “The Great Race,” and a reproduction of its finish is immortalized as a Pimlico trademark, adorn- ing the clubhouse as a signal to all entering that Pimlico is a place where legends will en- dure forever.
