Needles was the first Florida-bred to earn the roses in 1956 and the performance drew attention to the fledging upstart state raising thoroughbreds that could outrun their pedigrees thanks to the combination of top notch horsemen, limestone rich soil and spring fed aquifers. Carry Back, Foolish Pleasure, Triple Crown winner Affirmed and Unbridled join him over the decades. One of the oldest living Kentucky Derby winners, the now almost toothless Silver Charm was the last Florida-bred to win in 1997. His success carried the hopes and dreams of many Central Florida horsemen like Scott and Diana Dudley (Parks), Dana Barnes, Janie Roper, the McKathan Brothers and Mary Lou Wootton that are now household names in Florida’s thoroughbred busi- ness. Sold for $1 million as a yearling and in the gifted hands of Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, Thousand Words may be Florida’s best chance yet to bring the Derby trophy home. Thousand Words was installed Amy Tarrant/COGLIANESE PHOTO at 15-1 odds in the morning line, but already had moved to 9-1 odds by Friday morning. The attention may be because of his sire Pioneerof the Nile who sired Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. Handicappers that see wagering value in his odds tout the classic stamina. Pioneerof the Nile placed second in the Derby in 2009.Thousand Word’s grand- sire Empire Maker was also runner up in the race in 2003, later winning the Belmont Stakes (G1). The fifth Derby winner from Florida, Unbridled is his great-grandsire. The Florida-bred has proven he can go a mile and a sixteenth in three stakes already. He received his schooling and early training in the Ocala area at Barry Berkelhammer’s AbraCadabra Farms located in Ocala. Along with longtime business associate Gary Mottola, they have overseen the growth of the farm to more than 240 acres and the business has produced six Kentucky Derby starters and six Breeders’ Cup contenders. A closer look at his dam’s line shows that he has more in com- mon with the 12th Triple Crown winner. Quality sprinters are strongly represented which was also true in Pharoah’s pedigree. His dam Pomeroy’s Pistol won three graded sprints. Her sire Pomeroy won two G1 sprints and her grandsire Boundary was a graded stakes-winning sprinter who also sired 2008 Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown. Three of the horses that are likely to set the early pace are coming from the outside from starting positions 16 through 18.

  • $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU
    $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU (Grade III) 95th Running – Saturday, May 4, 2019 (Kentucky Derby Day) 3-Year-Olds at One Mile on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:34.18, Competitive Edge (2015) Track Record – 1:33.26, Fruit Ludt (2014) Name Origin: Formerly known as the Derby Trial, the one-mile race for 3-year-olds was moved from Opening Night to Kentucky Derby Day and renamed the Pat Day Mile in 2015 to honor Churchill Downs’ all-time leading jockey Pat Day. Day, enshrined in the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 2005, won a record 2,482 races at Churchill Downs, including 156 stakes, from 1980-2005. None was more memorable than his triumph aboard W.C. Partee’s Lil E. Tee in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. He rode in a record 21 consecutive renewals of the Kentucky Derby, a streak that ended when hip surgery forced him to miss the 2005 “Run for the Roses.” Day’s Triple Crown résumé also included five wins in the Preakness Stakes – one short of Eddie Arcaro’s record – and three victories in the Belmont Stakes. His 8,803 career wins rank fourth all-time and his mounts that earned $297,914,839 rank second. During his career Day lead the nation in wins six times (1982-84, ’86, and ’90-91). His most prolific single day came on Sept. 13, 1989, when Day set a North American record by winning eight races from nine mounts at Arlington Park.

Golden Horn, Gleneagles Slated to Finally Meet in Irish Champion The much anticipated matchup between star European miler GLENEAGLES (IRE) and fellow standout GOLDEN HORN (GB) appears set to finally take place Saturday in Leopardstown’s $1.33 million “Win and You’re In” QIPCO Irish Champion (GI), with an eight-horse field in place, and a berth in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf going to the winner. The Irish Champion is one of three Challenge races at Leopardstown and highlights a weekend that features 10 total “Win and You’re In” races, including the prestigious Ricoh Woodbine Mile (GI) Sunday. A rainy forecast for Friday has caused Leopardstown officials to move the Irish Champion to the outside course, and to start Saturday’s race about one hour earlier in the program. The connections of both Coolmore’s Gleneagles and Anthony Oppenheimer’s Golden Horn, the pair of 3-year-old standouts are expected to meet in the 1 ¼-mile race after the latter withdrew from a potential clash in the “Win and You’re In” Juddmonte International (GI) at York August 19 due to the soft turf.
