Any
Given Saturday got off
to a great start with a victory in the Sam F.
Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs. Seems trainer
Todd Pletcher has yet another Kentucky Derby
contender to go along with prospects that include
Circular Quay, Ravel and Scat Daddy. Pletcher
leads all trainers with 32 horses nominated to
the Triple Crown races.
Circular
Quay was undefeated
in 3 starts (all sprints) before losing to Great
Hunter in the Lane's End Breeders' Futurity at
Keeneland and Street Sense in the Breeders' Cup
Juvenile, where he was second in both.
Great
Hunter won 2 out of 7
starts last year and placed second in the Hollywood
Juvenile Championship, the Best Pal, and the
Del Mar Futurity. This colt won his first stakes
win in the Lane's End Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland
before finishing a distant 3rd in the Breeders'
Cup Juvenile. He'll only have a couple of workouts
prior to the Kentucky Derby, but looks very strong.
Ravel has only started twice
as a juvenile with a 2nd at Keeneland and a win
at Hollywood, both in Maiden Special Weights.
Scat
Daddy won the Sanford
Stakes and finished second to Circular Quay in
the Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga. In his first
start of the year at the Holy Bull Stakes at
Gulfstream, Scat Daddy kept close to the leader
(Nobiz Like Showbiz) for most of the race but
then dropped to 3rd place.
Hard
Spun, a son of Danzig
and trained by Larry Jones, shows tactical speed
and was the third most heavily bet on horse in
the first futures pool. Hard Spun was undefeated
in three starts last year at Delaware and Philadelphia
Park where he won the Port Penn and Pennsylvania
Nursery Stakes (all at sprint distances).
Street
Sense has never placed
worse than 3rd throughout his career (he was
3rd in the Arlington-Washington Futurity and
the Breeders' Cup Futurity at Keeneland), and
he won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Bred for distance
races, Street Sense is capable of winning the
Derby.
Nobiz
Like Showbiz is a big
colt who has yet to be tested in a field as large
as the Kentucky Derby. The grandson of 1994 Derby
winner Go For Gin, Nobiz Like Showbiz won his
first start of the year in the Holy Bull Stakes
at Gulfstream.
Notional finished third in
the Hollywood Prevue and won his first start
of 2007 in the San Rafael. He was then moved
out east to the Fair Grounds where he came from
behind to win the Risen Star Stakes.
Drums
of Thunder is one of
a trio of 3-year-old Derby contenders being trained
by South Florida's Bill Kaplan. Drums of Thunder
was a runner-up at the Holy Bull at Gulfstream
Park behind top Derby contender Nobiz Like Shobiz,
and Storm in May, winner of the Sunshine Millions
Dash.
