This demonstrates how vital Florida-breds are to the success of Gulfstream Park throughout the year—not just during the Spring/Summer season.

Back to Top Page 9 Medina Spirit the Seventh Florida-bred to Win Kentucky Derby

BY NICOLO RUSSO, COURTESY DAILY RACING FORM ______Almost a quarter-century ago, began his run into the Kentucky Derby (Grade 1) record book with a mod- estly priced Florida-bred. The Hall of Fame trainer recorded his record seventh Derby victory with another one. Medina Spirit, a $1,000 yearling who was later purchased for $35,000 on behalf of Amr Zedan as a juvenile, became the seventh Florida-bred to win the Kentucky Derby. Baffert’s seventh Derby win allowed him to break a tie for most wins in the race with the legendary Ben Jones. Medina Spirit is the first Florida-bred to wear the roses since Baffert’s first Derby winner, 1997 hero Silver Charm. That colt was a $16,500 yearling and $100,000 juvenile. More memories of Silver Charm, who fended off fellow Florida-bred Captain Bodgit and Free House down the lane of the Derby, were evoked by Medina Spirit, who refused to let Mandaloun pass for the length of the stretch for a half- length victory. In 1956, Needles was the first Florida-bred to win the Kentucky Derby. He was followed by Carry Back in 1961, Foolish Pleasure in 1975, and Triple Crown winner Affirmed in 1978. Florida-born Unbridled in 1990 was fol- lowed by Silver Charm. Outside of Kentucky, the birthplace of 112 Derby winners, Florida has been represented by the most province or state-breds to wear the roses, followed by California and Virginia, with four each. Not only is there a sense of state pride as Medina Spirit added to that record, the colt also is twice a graduate of Florida’s Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co.’s auctions.
