P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 2/25/10 • PAGE 2 of 7 • thoroughbreddailynews.com Zayat Stables purchased Eskendereya, the Arabic name for the Egyptian city of Alexandria, for $250,000 as a 2008 Keeneland Septem- ber yearling. Second over the Saratoga lawn in his debut last September, the chestnut graduated by 7 1/4 lengths in the off-the-turf Pilgrim S. at Belmont in October, and he concluded his juvenile cam- paign with a ninth-place ef- fort in the Nov. 7 GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile. He is now two- for-two as a sophomore after beginning the season with a Gulfstream allowance victory Jan. 7. Zayat Zayat said Eskendereya has Horsephotos matured considerably, and he was expecting a big effort in the Fountain of Youth. AIt is very significant how they change from their two-year-old to three-year-old years,@ Zayat explained. AYou want them to start filling up, growing, acting mature and focused. We were very encouraged be- cause he was doing exactly all the right things that you wanted to see from a colt who had been promising as a two-year-old turning three. In terms of appearance, demeanor, the way that he had been training, every- thing was right and [trainer] Todd [Pletcher] was high on [him].@ Despite his optimism, Zayat said he was still sur- prised by how easily Eskendereya won. AEverything was on all-systems go,@ he said. AHe looked ready, but you still don=t expect somebody, in a field that is probably the deepest prep from the five that day, to win that way and, with the sheer move- ment of how he galloped out and the time he ran, ev- erything was breathtaking for me. I expected he could run first, second or third, and I was looking for a good, forward performance, but I didn=t expect him to do what he did. For me, it was incredible.@ Eskendereya=s authoritative victory may leave his rivals hoping the colt is peaking too soon for the first Saturday in May, but Zayat thinks the Fountain of Youth didn=t take too much out of his colorbearer. AWhen Eskendereya galloped out, he galloped very, very strongly,@ Zayat said. AWhen John Velazquez got back to the winner=s circle, he said to Todd, >This sucker would not stop.= And I was looking at him; there was almost no sweat on him and he was breathing normal. It was like the race was nothing for him. It looks like it didn=t take a lot out of him and I think he has a lot left in the tank. So I don=t think this race was particularly taxing on him.@ Cont. p3 P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 2/25/10 • PAGE 3 of 7 • thoroughbreddailynews.com That could be bad news for the competition, but Zayat admitted it can be nerve-wracking to own a Ken- tucky Derby contender. AIt=s scary for me, to be honest with you,@ he said. AFrom now to Derby Day will be an eternity for me. I try to be grounded. I realize that this horse is royally bred and he=ll cher- ish even more distance-- he=ll love 1 1/4 miles, Zensational Benoit even 1 1/2 miles, and he doesn=t get tired. So ev- erything is going right for him, but it=s still a little sur- real to me.@ A big win in a major Kentucky Derby prep race auto- matically generates interest in a horse, and Zayat said he has been inundated with offers to buy Eskendereya. AI have had numerous offers, as you can imagine,@ the Egyptian businessman said. AOur phone has not stopped ringing. Everybody has Derby fever and every- body thinks that he is something special. By definition, he=s the fastest three-year-old in the country, based on Beyer, Ragozin or Thoro-Graph. The way he won, the time, and his pedigree--these are all the characteristics that people desire.@ And Zayat is listening. AOf course, I am entertaining offers,@ he said. AThis is a business for me. It=s not a hobby. I love horses, I love developing horses, but it=s also a business. Sometimes Still, bankrupty news is never far from the fore.

    CHURCHILL DOWNS Saturday 05/02/2015 Forecast High Partly Sunny 75 F Low Precip: 12% 54 F THE WIZARD'S CRYSTAL BALL # 3 YOCKEY'S WARRIOR (Race 2) He apparently was still feeling the effects of his monstrous victory at first asking on April 4 at Keeneland, finishing second that day. Yockey's Warrior was a mere shell of himself at Keeneland last month, setting the pace over a track surface that was extremely unkind to frontrunners and/or runners racing towards the rail. Regardless, Yockey's Warrior held on well in the stretch to salvage the place once displaced on the front end by the winner, and he was clearly second best. He projects to compete over a fairer surface today, switching to Churchill Downs while getting a huge upgrade in riders to Joel Rosario. He looms the controlling speed once again, drawing an a beneficial inside post. #3 CARVE (Race 4) He has had the misfortune of competing against Race Day not once, but twice in both of his starts off a layoff in Arkansas. In their second go-round on April 11, he gave the aforementioned runner all he could handle past midstretch, but was unable to match strides with that dual graded stakes winner when it mattered in the final yards, settling for a sharp second place finish. Carve profits immeasurably from some class relief today and the absence of Race Day as well, running in a high-end optional claiming contest. A drop in class to face similar rivals at a flat mile resulted in a going away victory as the post time favorite over this track in 2014.
