Four-year-old has won two of her three starts since joining the barn of Graham Motion including one at this distance at Gulfstream in March. Barn wins with 25% of runners that have not raced for 46-90 days and with 14% in graded stakes and four-year-old can be running late and may surprise with Eddie Castro in the saddle. 6 Artemus Kitten 8/1 Five-year-old comes off a third place finish over a mile in a stakes at Indiana after a tough trip in mid-June and is first on BRIS Prime Power. Daughter of excellent turf sire Kitten’s Joy has won five of her fifteen starts on grass for trainer Mike Maker who wins with 21% of his runners on turf and who has won with 26% of his starters since the beginning of the year. Chestnut has some tactical sped and should not be far from the leaders from the start with Julien Leparoux aboard. 8 Colonial Flag 5/2 Filly comes off a third place finish in a Grade Three at Churchill in June when making her first start since November and has won three of her nine starts on turf. Daughter of Pleasant Tap won a Grade Three in Canada last year for trainer Michael Matz who wins w ith 16% of his runners second time off a layoff and who has won with 15% of his starters since the beginning of the year.

Daughter of City Place will make her third start for trainer Armando De la ce rda who wins with 18% of his runners third time off a layoff and with 17% of his starters on grass and filly will likely be the one to catch with Constantino Roman retaining the mount.

Three-year-old is also first on Prime Power and is trained by Mike Maker who wins with 22% of his runners that have not raced for 46 -90 days and with 12% in graded stakes.

Trainer Tom Proctor wins with 19% of his starters on grass and has won with 16% of his runners overall this year and son of Milwaukee Brew may be closer to the early pace today and be a contender late with Eddie Castro in the saddle. 7 Dorsett 8/1 Third place finisher in the Arlington Classic followed that run with a win in al allowance here last month and now has a record of 5-2-1-0 on grass. Son of 14% grass sire Artie Schiller is from the barn of Mike Stidham who has won with 26% of his runners at this meet and who wins with 21% that won their last start and three- year-old can be stalking the early leaders with E T Baird retaining the mount.

  • Jack Mansour's 2014 Kentucky Derby Picks
    By Jack Mansour Below are my thoughts about the 140th Run For The Roses. The will be a sentimental choice of many due to his name. His Bostonian tradition of writing this article continues. Whether you’re in the owners named him to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon industry or a casual fan whose only brush with the sport of kings is an bombing although they weren’t able to get their first choice of annual Derby party, this is written for you. The goal is to convert new names… BOSTON STRONG. WICKED has to overcome his outside post fans to the sport one Derby at a time while including enough detail but will be flying in the stretch and could roll by everyone just as he and insight for the semi-serious handicapper.

  • 4 6 KEENELAND Fall 2012
    46 KEENELAND FALL 2012 Country LIFE By Alexandra Beckstett | Photos by Lee Thomas Settling at Shawnee Farm Allows Sally and Watts Humphrey to Indulge Their Passion for Horses Full-Time eorge Watts Humphrey Jr. has an im- measurable love for horses. He heads G several successful companies and serves on numerous boards, but at 68 there’s nowhere he’d rather be than at the track watch- ing a horse train or in the foaling barn while his next potential stakes winner takes its first breath. KEENELAND FALL 2012 47 Country LIFE “As a girl, I used to pray I would marry someone who loved horses as much as I did. But I married someone who loves horses more than me.” – Sally Humphrey And while the congenial Humphrey and his wife, Sally, are well known among Thoroughbred enthusiasts as breeders of the 1980 Kentucky Derby winner Genuine Risk, 1985 Belmont Stakes winner Crème Fraiche, and other champions, Watts will be the first to say ”Every horse is special.” Like most breeders, Humphrey’s end goal is to produce and race high-caliber horses, but watching his homebreds trans- form from foals to athletes is one of his biggest thrills. “We love to be there when they foal, and we love to see them develop,” he said. As a third-generation horseman, Humphrey has Thorough- breds in his blood. Sally, on the other hand, cultivated her equine interest by joining the 4-H club and attending The Orme School, a 26,000-acre working ranch in central Arizona, growing up. “As a girl, I used to pray I would marry someone who loved Watts Humphrey enjoys all aspects of breeding and raising horses as much as I did.

A native of Panama, Saez was honored in a special memorial service before racing resumed Thursday, Oct. 16. No racing was held on Wednesday, Oct. 15. The jockey colony at Indiana Grand accepted the leading apprentice award for Saez at the conclusion of the meet.
