Kris Who led throughout for a 3 1/2-length win over Western Warning in the $75,000 Casino at the Downs Thoroughbred Derby on Saturday night at The Downs at Albuquerque. It was another half-length back to 4-5 favorite Blazing Navarone in third.

The one-mile race was for 3-year-olds bred in New Mexico.

Kris Who ($8) set fractions of 23.80 seconds for the opening quarter, 46.50 for the half-mile, and 1:10.50 for six furlongs before going on to cover the distance on a fast track in 1:37.78.

Roimes Chirinos was aboard for trainer Todd Fincher.

Kris Who is a son of Indian Firewater who races for Sam E. and Sammy Stevens.

Storm the Beach, who finished seventh, was declared a nonstarter because his gate opened prematurely, according to the chart of the race by Equibase.
