Destin the Kentucky Derby Contender can Pletcher find his groove! 11 days to go

                        TEAM PLETCHER & DESTIN

         Destin did a nice job winning and Outwork a nice 2n, both impressive winners for trainer Todd Pletcher at Tampa Bay Downs on Feb. 13. Destin also prevailed in the Grade 3 Sam F. Davis Stakes . They both impressed again at Tampa Bay Downs, March 12th in the Grade 2, $350,000 Tampa Bay Derby, but this time, only one could win, and after a thrilling duel that lasted the length of the stretch, it was Destin who scored the biggest victory of his young career.

       Destin set a track record of 1:42.82 for 1-1/16 miles in taking the Tampa Bay Derby by a length over Outwork, besting the mark set by Bolt Start in the 2010 Challenger Stakes by .01 of a second. Destin, a son of Giant's Causeway owned by Twin Creeks Racing Stables, has won three of his five starts and earned $390,700.

        "I thought both horses ran terrific," Pletcher said. "For Outwork to dig in like he did in only his third start and second start this year was great. And I think Destin now continues to move forward and shows the Sam Davis was legit. It seems like he's getting a little more professional each time and learning how to polish off his races. I'm proud of both of them."

       It seems Destin is eager to please trainer Todd Pletcher who has saddled 24 Derby contenders and has scored 1 win with his horse Super Saver in the 2010 Derby. Pletcher teams with Destin who was bred in Kentucky by the infamous Taylor Made Farms. His sire is the European Horse of the Year, "Giant's Causeway. And if you want to know where he gets the grey highlights it is from his awesome winning Dam "Dream of Summer" who has line of grey's and it is not a bad thing at all because his Mother was a proven winner. 

       I would believe if Destin is on his game and puts it all together he fits well in this field and could get to the winners circle. Though he is not a great starter he is stable through out the distance and does not flatten when asked to finish. If he finds anything in the tank in his final furlong he could get in the money. Let me know how you feel about Destin's chances in the Derby? Does he get your bet? GO DESTIN

Derby Watch: Suddenbreakingnews is Making Headlines

         

   

            Sam F. Henderson isn’t a newshound, but he is the owner of a fast race horse he dubbed    SUDDENBREAKINGNEWS. Sam doesn’t have the television on news channels 24/7, and there’s certainly nothing in his horses pedigree of names that led him to his name. He just liked the name. 

                                                            Suddenbreakingnews

 So Lets talk about his pedigree. 

WOW what a colt! His lineage is one of honor and glory from Secretariat to Afleet Alex this guy is bred to win the big races. AP Indy has been producing numerous stake winners and Mineshaft his      father was a multi-millionaire American thoroughbred race horse. He was sired by 1992 US Horse of the Year and US Racing Hall of Fame inductee AP Indy who was the son of 1977 US Triple Crown Winner Seattle Slew. Mineshafts mother, Prospectors Delite, is by the leading North American sire Mr. Prospector. Mineshaft finished his racing career with a record of 10 wins, 3 places, and 1 show, with earnings totaling $2,283,402.

       

Suddenbreakingnews himself has come into the light of his lineage with a race record of 3 wins, 4 places, and his last race really shows he is getting the hang of his racing by scoring a second in the Arkansas Derby. Is anyone in the horse racing world considering Suddenbreakingnews as horse with potential to win the Derby?
