    THOMAS HERDING TECHNIQUE: PATTERNS OF MOTION ANALYSIS 139 Kentucky Derby Starters Black Onyx Mylute Charming Kitten Normandy Invasion Falling Sky Orb Fear the Kitten Overanalyze Frac Daddy Oxbow Giant Finish Palace Malice Golden Soul Revolutionary Goldencents Verrazano Itsmyluckyday Vyjack Java’s War Will Take Charge Lines of Battle KentucKy Derby 139 | May 4, 2013 | thoMas herDing technique: Patterns of Motion | 1 BLACK ONYX Sire: Rock Hard Ten Dam:Kalahari Cat Black Onyx is a difficult read because of surface interpretations. He absolutely loves running on turf, and to a lesser degree, Polytrack. His victory in an allowance race on the Gulfstream Park turf on February 23 was beautiful. He moved with a nice controlled, methodical rhythm, and didn’t waste much energy. He dealt with multiple stimuli, went around horses, changed gears into individual herd dynamic, released cleanly and looked great on the gallop-out. His subsequent win in the Spiral Stakes (G3) was good but not great. When he encountered high-stress moments and needed to dig in, his motion got a little squirrelly. His head stayed straight, but his hind end moved laterally. We noticed a lot of horses struggling and not changing leads in a timely manner on Turfway’s Polytrack, so perhaps we should excuse some of the inefficiency. He won the race, but the pattern of motion definitely was not as smooth as we saw on turf. Moving to dirt, he is a bigger question mark. Black Onyx has run ok on dirt but not nearly as well as he did on turf. He showed too much body language (head movement and high knee action) at times on dirt.
