C Z Rocket defeated Whitmore by a neck in the $200,000 Hot Springs Stakes on March 13 at Oaklawn to halt a four-race win- ning streak by the latter going back to 2017 in that six furlong test. Whitmore had also won the Count Fleet in three of the last four years with his only blemish coming when second to that year’s champion sprinter, Mitole, in the 2019 renewal. The Breeders’ Cup Sprint and the Hot Springs was the rubber match between the two in the Count Fleet with C Z Rocket now having the edge while earn- ing $300,000 and increasing his Peter Miller/EQUINE SPORTSWIRE PHOTO career bankroll to $1,311,641. That ranks him at No. 99 on the list of the all-time richest Florida-breds behind Richman with $1,314,360 and ahead of Caledonia Road with $1,307,800. The Tom Amoss-trained No Parole jumped out to set the pace in the Count Fleet as he carried Ramon Vasquez through a quar- ter-mile in :21.92 while a length in front of Strike Power in second with Whitmore and jockey Ricardo Santana Jr. tucked in behind the leaders on the rail in fourth, about two-and-a-half lengths back. Moving into the turn, C Z Rocket and Florent Geroux had one horse beat while racing on the outside and about two-and-a- half lengths farther behind. Strike Power and No Parole came out of the turn together after a :45.35 half-mile with Mr. Jagermeister to their outside as Santana looked for a seam for Whitmore behind those three. Meanwhile, Geroux had C Z Rocket in full gear while racing six wide and the 7-year-old gelding gunned for the lead with an impressive move on the outside. Whitmore found running room at the top of the stretch and quickly shot past the frontrunners but C Z Rocket had the advantage and the momentum in the middle of the track.

BUT MEDINA SPIRIT RETURNS A WINNER IN SHARED BELIEF THEY CAN BE PERPLEXING Zedan Racing Stable's Medina Spirit (Protonico), whose GI Kentucky Derby title still remains in limbo due to a betamethasone positive, returned to the winner's circle with a wire-to-wire victory in the Shared Belief S. at Del Mar Sunday. The dark bay colt, sent off the 4-5 favorite, went quickly to the lead and was tracked by second choice Rock Your World (Candy Ride {Arg}) through a quarter in :22.52 and a half in :46.92. The two favorites were swarmed by longshots nearing the stretch as GI Santa Anita Derby winner Rock Your World drifted out slightly in upper stretch and Team Merchants (Nyquist) and Stilleto Boy (Shackleford) exchanged bumps, but Medina Spirit ran straight and true and powered home a one-length winner over the resurgent Rock Your World. Following an inquiry into the infractions in upper stretch, the stewards determined Team Merchants, who finished fourth, was responsible for the interference with third-place finisher Stilleto Boy and allowed Essential Quality overtakes Midnight Bourbon | Sarah Andrew the order of finish to stand.

    The Kentucky Derby is a part of the American fabric. During “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” the country turns its eyes to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, to see which 3-year-old horse will win the “Run for the Roses.” This Inside Track to the Kentucky Derby is a combination of some of the best handicapping forces in the country. The Racing Dudes have been at it for years, offering handicapping picks and analysis daily for over 7 years. This year, all hands are on deck. Racing Dudes Aaron and Jared have scoured over the Kentucky Derby field for months, while Mike "Saratoga Slim" Spector and Mike Somich have also been busy at work. Mike Somich is known for his massive multi-race scores. He is fairly new to the team, but is already making many fans with his Pick 4 and Pick 5 analysis and picks. Saratoga Slim is the master at crushing major tickets on big days. Last year, he cashed in HUGE at the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. In addition to his handi- capping skills, Saratoga Slim is also an award-winning Kentucky Derby pace writer.

Showing his displeasure, Whitmore promptly kicked the wall. Hard. "He is as consistent as the day is long," Moquett said, smiling. "He will do everything the exact same way. Our job is to get done, working with him, knowing his idiosyncrasies." Moquett and his staff live in Whitmore's world, ruled by the 8-year-old gelding who is scheduled to make his 42nd career start--the 13th in a Grade I--in the Alfred G. Vanderbilt H.
