  • THE 2015 MKB BOOK of Kentucky Derby Prospects
    4/8 THE 2015 MKB BOOK of Kentucky Derby Prospects As awarded by Annie and the Magic Genie MKB Biographies by Annie Contributing and editing by SR Vegas MKB : a Brief History. I wanted to note how the MKB started . Back in summer of 2008 , it was noticed by our ANNIE that there is a lull in horse racing interest between the Breeders Cup races and the Kentucky Derby . What better way to continue sharing our horse racing passion, interaction and dialog with our Formblog friends by offering an activity to bridge that gap. How about a ‘Kentucky Derby prospect’ to follow along the preps and races leading up to the Kentucky Derby in May ? GENIUS! That concept became what is now the MKB. It can only be found here at Dan Illman’s Formblog. The first year was for the 2009 Kentucky Derby and now seven years later it is still as popular and going strong. Each year we have new people visiting and participating at Dan’s Formblog. Here is a Nov 2014 post and explanation from Annie : I suppose I should explain the MKB for the newcomers. Like every year, someone is sure to ask "What is the MKB?" :) MKB stands for Magic Kleenex Box. It's named for the box in which the names of promising two-year-olds will be placed next month. On December 14th, one of these horses will be drawn for each Formblogger who signs up for the MKB. That horse will become that person's own special horse to follow along the Derby Trail.

As a racehorse this son of Giant’s Causeway appeared to have the 2010 GI Kentucky Derby at his mercy, after he had won all three of his starts earlier in the year. He had been notably impressive in taking the GII Fountain of Youth S. by eight and a half lengths and the GI Wood Memorial by nine and a half. Unfortunately, just a week before The NTRA Team: Kilpack, Gates, Durenberger & Koch the Derby, Eskendereya was found to have a slight filling in his left front leg, from the ankle to the knee. Cont. p10 by Lucas Marquardt Back in 2008, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) launched the Safety and Integrity Alliance.

For more information on the services visit www.pedigreeconsultants.com, email [email protected] or call +1 859 285 0431. NOT THIS TIME The most brilliant two-year-old son of sire of sires, Giant’s Causeway, Not This Time was also arguably the fastest and most spectacular two-year-old of his crop. In addition to being by Storm Cat’s leading sire son, he is out of record-breaking graded and multiple stakes winning Miss Macy Sue – also dam of brilliant Breeders’ Cup Mile (gr. I) victor Liam’s Map – and descends from Ta Wee, a two-time Champion Sprinter who is half-sister to the legendary Dr. Fager. Giant’s Causeway has demonstrated an affinity for the Fappiano branch of Mr. Prospector, and Fappiano is particularly interesting here, as he is out of a mare by Dr. Fager, which should work extremely well with remarkable strong Tartan Farm/Genter heritage in the dam of Not This Time (which includes inbreeding to Dr. Fager’s brilliant half-sister, Ta Wee). We can note that Unbridled’s Song – a grandson of Fappiano – is the sire of Not This Time’s brilliant half-brother Liam’s Map.
