Kentucky Derby 2019 Blog: Remsen Stakes Analysis

Trainer Chad Brown finished 2nd in the Derby with Good Magic earlier this year and has several promising Kentucky Derby 2019 candidates including Remsen Stakes contender Network Effect. 



Network Effect has only started twice and he ran well both times. If he is going to win his first stakes race on Saturday, he will have to get past Maximus Mischief. The Parx shipper is 2-for-2 and should makes his presence felt throughout at Aqueduct on Dec. 1. 

Remsen Stakes 2018 Analysis (12-1-18)

AQU 8 (G2 Remsen, 9f) Looking at the TRD Race Header, Network Effect has the best combination of class (RCL) and CPR (see lines 4-5 in the race header). #5 NETWORK EFFECT (7-5) followed up a sharp stalk/pounce debut maiden win in an extended sprint at Saratoga with a clear place finish in the G3 Nashua. He has a strong local stakes effort under his belt and figures to be tough to handle today for Castellano/Brown. #6 Maximus Mischief (6-5) romped in both sprint starts at Parx and he owns the best overall numbers. He gets a class and stamina test in this spot, and he has beaten a total of eight horses in two starts (beat just 2 rivals Oct 20). #1 Jungle Warrior (8-1) switches surfaces for his new trainer Jimmy Jerkens. #3 Bourbon War (5-1) won his off the turf bow at Aqueduct at one mile Nov 14. He has a strong pedigree and Ortiz Jr. hops aboard for Mark Hennig. THE PLAYS: Exacta 1-3/5, Trifecta 5/1-3/ALL, Trifecta 5/ALL/1-3
