I will be using this runner underneath, but I cannot see him winning the Derby, despite the connections. Like other late-running colts, if you encounter traffic, then it makes it doubly hard to get to the front before the wire. The problem is the pace, which could be controlled up front. Having an aggressive rider like him could be a catalyst. Irad Ortiz gets the call, replacing Rosario, since he will be riding Epicenter. The late gears are clearly his best weapon, and advancing speed figs. Shipping from the sun, up to the Empire State, Pletcher targeted the Grade 2 Wood Memorial, and the colt was up against a field that included Chad Brown’s Early Voting, and Steve Asmussen’s Morello.Īs the 2nd choice and with Joel Rosario in the irons, the 3-yr-old moved late, winning by a neck over Brown’s entry. In the end, it was White Abarrio and Simplification that finished 1-2. In typical fashion, the colt broke slowly, and took most of the race to catch up to the leaders. The connections then repaired to Pletcher’s southern base in Florida at Gulfstream Park with the intent of taking on the locals in the Holy Bull (G3). The connections had one of the top Derby hopefuls going into 2022. Piloted by Irad Ortiz, the clan had to sweat out an inquiry, as the short-priced runners bumped late in the race. (G2) the tote told the story … Zandon and Mo Donegal would be co-favorites. HOF trainer Todd Pletcher watched his colt by Uncle Mo, who sold at the Keeneland September Sale in 2020 for $250k, break his maiden at Belmont in his 2nd career race.Ĭoming into the Remsen S. With a strong contingent of investors, they are looking to come to Louisville, and see their stock rise in the 148th Kentucky Derby. Mo Donny-gal … correct pronunciation clarified … is part of the Donegal Racing family.
