Hidden Scroll, a runaway winner of his debut on Jan. 26 at Gulfstream Park, and Code of Honor, runner-up in last year’s Champagne Stakes, are among the 3-year-olds pointing for the Grade 2, $350,000 Fountain of Youth Stakes on March 2 at Gulfstream, their trainers said Thursday.
Hidden Scroll dazzled on the Pegasus undercard, earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 104. On Thursday trainer Bill Mott said “we’re taking a serious look at the Fountain of Youth” with the son of Hard Spun.
OLDSMAR, Fla. – Ben Colebrook has a simple goal for Knicks Go this winter at Tampa Bay Downs – do enough to return home a legitimate Kentucky Derby contender. The first of two Tampa races for the speedy gray colt will come Saturday, when the Sam F. Davis anchors an outstanding Festival Preview card.
OLDSMAR, Fla. – Knicks Go surely will be favored Saturday when the Sam F. Davis Stakes is renewed at Tampa Bay Downs, but one of the more compelling reasons to fade the speedy gray colt is this: Todd has one in there against him.
So Alive, a winner in two of three career starts, all for trainer Todd Pletcher, will be making his stakes debut as one of the chief threats to Knicks Go in the Grade 3, $250,000 Sam Davis. The 39th running of the Sam Davis is the lone qualifying points race (10-4-2-1) toward the Kentucky Derby this weekend.
Game Winner, the unbeaten winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and the current ante-post favorite for the Kentucky Derby, tops a list of 362 3-year-olds who on Wednesday were announced by Churchill Downs as early nominees to this year’s Triple Crown.
Twelve new names are in the lineup for Pool 2 of the 2019 Kentucky Derby Future Wager, which opens Friday at noon Eastern for the customary three-day run.
The mutuel field, the 24th or “all others” option, has been pegged as the 5-2 morning-line favorite in Pool 2 by Churchill Downs linemaker Mike Battaglia, with Game Winner the shortest individually listed interest at 6-1. Then come Improbable (8-1), Instagrand (10-1), and Hidden Scroll (12-1).
