Kentucky Derby 2019 Points Race Recaps
Lexington Stakes (G3) Recap (4-13-19) - Winner: Owendale ($27.40)
Owendale made a wide, sweeping move from off the pace and took down top honors by a bit less than two lengths. He was an early season Derby buzz horse after a fast allowance route win at Fair Grounds in January. He failed his first points test in the Risen Star (G2), and bounced back with a nice victory in this event. He picked up 20 Derby points but that is not nearly enough to make the field. He figures to target the Preakness Stakes (G1) and clearly has some talent. The Lexington Stakes (G3) was basically a win and you’re in for Anothertwsitafate, and he fell a length and three-quarters short in a solid place finish. In his start prior to the Lexington, he switched to dirt, stalked the pace, and surged in the lane to miss by a neck in the Sunland Derby (G3). In those two races, he was a bit uncomfortable chasing the pace in and amongst horses, but he fought hard throughout both times despite less than ideal circumstances. I think he is best setting the pace or stalking outside and in the clear, and he is currently on the outside looking in at #23 on the Derby points list. Earlier this winter, he was excellent in the El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Fields on all-weather footing, and that victory earned him an automatic berth in the Preakness Stakes (G1). The $360k son of Scat Daddy needs a few defections to get into the Derby, and the best thing for him might be missing that race and waiting for the Preakness. The Derby would be his third start in six weeks. If he waits for the Preakness, he would have five weeks between races, and he is talented enough to make some noise in Baltimore. Sueno was also on the points bubble and needed a win here, but all he could manage was a clear place finish. The Keith Desormeaux trainee is consistent but a cut or two below the top 3-year-olds. Knicks Go attended the pace and finished 4th, and was followed by Shang, Roiland, Harvey Wallbanger, Zenden, Hawaiian Noises, and Chase the Ghost.

Kentucky Derby 2019 Points Race Recap: Ownedale Upsets Anothertwistafate in Lexington Stakes
Keeneland Race Course
4/13/2019
Race Round-Up (R9): Gr. III Lexington Stakes (3yr M, 1-1/16th Mile Dirt, $200,000)
Track Condition: Fast
Final Time: 1:44.14 (24.33), (48.23), (1:12.88), (1:38.05)
Anothertwistafate and Sueno were on the outside looking in on the Kentucky Derby 2019 leader board and a victory by either might have solidified a spot in the starting gate. Owendale squashed those dreams with a powerful wide trip victory under Florent Geroux. The son of Into Mischief broke through the graded ranks and crossed the wire at 1:44.14. Trainer Brad Cox is not one to overlook and certainly knows how to win big races. We could possibly see this guy in the Preakness however I would not be surprised to see Cox looking elsewhere.
Check out Today's Racing Digest for handicapping products, analysis, and more! Owendale capture above courtesy of Today's Racing Digest.
With his second-place finish, Anothertwistafate sits in 23rd on the leader board with 38 points (tied with Signalman). Sueno now has 32 points and sits in 24th on the Derby leaderboard. A few horses would have to scratch or opt out of the race for these two to get in.

Kentucky Derby 2019 Points Race Recap: Derby Favorite Omaha Beach Wins Arkansas Derby
Mud-loving Omaha Beach got the jump on Improbable and won the last big 100 point Kentucky Derby 2019 prep race by a length. That is the second time that he shipped to Oaklawn Park and took down a Bob Baffert runner. Last month, he nipped Game Winner by a nose in the second division of the Rebel Stakes (G2).

Kentucky Derby 2019 Points Race Analysis for Saturday (4-13-19)
KEE 9 (G3 Lexington, 8.5f) #4 ANOTHERTWISTAFATE (2-1) proved that he could handle dirt in a surging place finish in the Sunland Derby (G3) March 24 (137 CPR, 155 Pace Rating, 149 Final Rating). I like his early-pressing versatility and Castellano should have options. He drilled a Sunland bullet for this April 4 and has the talent to make short work of this group. #3 Sueno (5-1) fired trifecta shots in all six starts including a trio of underneath finishes in Derby points races (2nd in G3 Sham, 2nd in G3 Southwest, 3rd in G2 LA Derby). He projects another decent tactical trip under Lanerie. #5 Harvey Wallbanger (7-2) and #10 Roiland (15-1) did not get much pace help in the Florida Derby (G1) and LA Derby (G2) in their last starts. I can see one or both hitting the board if the pace heats up. The Plays: #4 to win, Exacta 4-3, Trifecta Key 4/3-5-10
OP 11 (G1 Arkansas Derby, 9f) #8 COUNTRY HOUSE (12-1) is slowly improving for Mott and this would be a great time to put it all together. Rosario might be a good fit for this one and there is pace to chase today. He was off slow and wide in the LA Derby (G2), and he flattened out in the lane after putting in a big run around the far turn (improved 106 FIRE). Plus, the speed did not come back that day, but it might in this spot. #3 Omaha Beach (2-1) has put in all together in his last pair and gamely beat Game Winner in the second division of the Rebel Stakes (G2) March 16. He is firing bullets for this and could easily score again. #1 Improbable (8-5) adds blinkers and goes from the outside post in the Rebel Stakes (G2) to the rail in this longer event. He won all three starts last year from inner posts including a razor sharp score from the rail in the Los Al Futurity (G1). He drilled a SA bullet for this April 5. #11 Long Range Toddy (5-1) always finishes in the top three in these points races, He will have to work out a trip from the outside post and he upset Improbable in the first division of the Rebel Stakes (G2) under today’s rider Jon Court March 16. #7 Galilean (10-1) removes blinkers after an okay 3rd in the 1st division of the Rebel Stakes (G2). He figures to stalk the pace under Prat. #5 Laughing Fox (20-1) was pinched at the start and never got involved vs. Omaha Beach last time. He fired a bullet in the local mud April 8 and deserves another chance in the stakes ranks. The Plays: #8 to win, Exacta 8/1-3, Exacta 1-3/8, Superfecta 8/1-3/1-3-11/1-3-5-7-11, Superfecta 1-3/8/1-3-11/1-3-5-7-11, Superfecta 1-3/1-3-11/8/1-3-5-7-11, Superfecta 1-3/1-3-11/1-3-5-7-11/8
Kentucky Derby 2019 Points Race Recaps
Blue Grass Stakes (G2) Recap (4-6-19) - Winner: Vekoma ($4.80)
Vekoma did not disappoint as the favorite in his final Derby prep. He chased the pace from 2nd, took the lead, and rode the speed bias to an easy 3-1/2 length victory. He was good as a juvenile and has improved this year. He will have to improve again to compete for a top prize on the first Saturday in May. Win Win Win rallied to grab the place in the final strides and has also secured his spot in the Derby. Signalman stalked the pace and just missed the place. He finished in the top three in four of his five points races and is #18 on the Derby points list. Somelikeithotbrown battled on the pace and weakened late to finish 4th. He is currently #21 on the points list (30 points) and is on the outside looking in. Chess Chief, So Alive, Sir Winston, Admire, Moonster, Lucky Lee, Market King, Aquadini, Dream Maker, and Parsimony completed the order of finish.

Kentucky Derby 2019 Prep Race Analysis: Anothertwistafate Strong Win Threat in Lexington Stakes
Race 9: Gr. III Lexington Stakes (3yr M, 1-1/16th Mile Dirt, $200,000)
Available Points: 20-8-4-2
Weather: Cloudy with a high in the 60’s with low chance of precipitation.
This will be the final weekend of the Kentucky Derby 2019 prep races and the last hope for some of these runners trying to up their total in hopes of making it to the starting gate on May 4th.
Anothertwistafate sits in 23rd with 30 points and first or second place finish should guarantee his spot. Sueno currently sits in 25th with 28 points and he’ll need a win here to qualify. Last week, the connections of Master Fencer (JPN) stated they will be making the trip to Louisville so that did knock a couple horses down the leader board. There usually are a couple deflections going into the Derby by way of sickness, injury or the trainers just not opting to run so a horse sitting around 21st – 24th may get lucky regardless if they don’t run this weekend.

Without further ado, let’s look at the contenders:

2 - Hawaiian Noises
John Velazquez
Wesley Ward
10-1
3 - Sueno

Florent Geroux
Brad Cox
12-1
9 - Zenden
Tyler Gaffalione
Victor Barboza
6-1
10 - Roiland
James Graham
Tom Amoss
15-1
#1 – Shang: Has won four straight races ranging from 6F to 8.5F for trainer Steve Asmussen. His last two wins came when he was sitting just off the pace so I imagine Irad will do the same here (no more than five back in the early stages). Can’t knock the connections for trying here but with no points on the Kentucky Derby leaderboard one would assume this might be a prep for the Preakness. Asmussen trained Shang’s dam Humble Janet who won four times from 17 starts, three coming at a mile and one at a mile and a sixteenth. She also placed in two Gr. III races over a mile. Shang is a son of Shanghai Bobby who won the Gr. I BC Juvenile back in 2012 so the distance should not be a problem. Possible exotic play.
#2 – Hawaiian Noises: Wesley Ward trainee has won three in a row with two coming over the synthetic surface (Turfway Park) and the other coming over the dirt back here in October. Those were all sprints however and this will be his first-time routing. In his last start he won an ungraded stake on March 9th which was also his first race of 2019. He could improve second off a layoff and dose own some nice works over the track as of late. Hawaiian Noises is by Super Saver who won the Kentucky Derby in 2010 and his dam, Lastofthesummerwine only raced one and finished second in a sprint over the synthetic. Seems like the artificial surface will be more to his liking so I’ll pass here.
#3 – Sueno: The Atreides colt has never missed the board in six starts and was last seen finishing third in the Gr. II Louisiana Derby on March 23rd. His Brisnet speed figures have been steadily improving and he needs a win to solidify his spot in the Derby starting gate. Last time out in the Gr. II Louisiana Derby he had a perfect trip sitting right behind the pace setter but ultimately could not keep up with By My Standards and Spinoff down the lane. I see him being a bit further back than his usually running style as there are some fast horses in here, however he should be getting a nice trip down by or close to the rail. Desormeaux obviously feels he’s Derby material or he would have not opted to run here.
#4 – Anothertwistafate: The 2-1 morning line favorite and deservingly so after his last two performances. Two races back he took the El Camino Derby in gate to wire fashion over the synthetic surface at Golden going 9F. The son of Scat Daddy then went down to Sunland Park where he finished a game second behind Cutting humor in the Gr. III Sunland Park Derby on March 24th. If he runs his race, I feel he dominates this field. Strong win contender.
#5 – Harvey Wallbanger: Disappointed last time out in the Gr. I Florida Derby where he did very little running. The fractions were slow during the early stages, but he really had no excuse for such an effort. Prior to that effort he never missed the exacta in five starts and does get a little class relief here. The pace in here looks quick and I do think that should benefit him, so a rebound effort is not out of the question. As of now, Harvey Wallbanger has 10 points on the Derby trail and even with a victory here on Saturday he still wouldn’t crack the top 20. The only way he gets in is if he wins this race, and at least four or five horses opt out of the Derby. Can’t discount him here and going back to 8.5F should be more suitable.
#6 – Chase the Ghost: Comes into this race with a 7-1-2-0 record with just under $50K in career earnings. Dallas Stewart has been known to blow up an exacta or two, however I can’t see this horse beating this group. In the Gr. II Risen Star, he did have some trouble down the stretch but he was not getting to the winners that day regardless. I see Mena sitting off the pace and making a late run turning for home. Will pass here.
#7 – Knicks Go: Has not returned to his two-year old form and has two poor efforts in the Gr. II Sam F. Davis and the Gr. III Gotham. The last time this horse won, it was over this very track (October). This will be his third start off the layoff and Jimenez will have him up on the pace during the early stages. I still feel this one’s best days are behind him however he if hit the board I would not be totally surprised.
#8 – Owendale: Was last seen finishing 8th in the Gr. II Risen Star back on February 16th. From looking at his past performances I don’t think this guy wants to go much farther than a mile. Two races back he won over a good surface when pressing the pace after he took off from post one in a six-horse field. Florent Geroux will take the mount and he and Cox have been winning at a 34% clip over the last 60 days (47 mounts). Could use underneath.
#9 – Zenden: This guy will likely be a pace factor and if I am the jock, I send him right to the front as there is a not much runway going into the first turn. Last time out in the Gr. II Tampa Bay Derby, this guy set blistering fractions and held on to finish fourth behind Tacitus and Win Win Win, both of whom have came back to run huge in their following starts. The son of Fed Biz will be making his third start off a layoff for trainer Victor Barboza and Tyler Gaffalione will take over the mount. Could be maturing at the right time and I expect a solid effort in this spot.
#10 – Roiland: Another improving type for Tom Amoss but he just doesn’t seem to be a Derby horse in my eyes. His last four starts have come in the graded stakes ranks with his best finish being a third in the Gr. II Risen Star. Given his late running style a fast pace could play out to his benefit and it would not shock me for him to finish third or fourth in here. I would imagine Graham takes him to the rail during the early stages trying to save ground and find his way through late down the lane.
Top Four: 4 – 9 – 5 - 1

Seems like the artificial surface will be more to his liking so I’ll pass here.
#3 – Sueno: The Atreides colt has never missed the board in six starts and was last seen finishing third in the Gr. II Louisiana Derby on March 23rd. His Brisnet speed figures have been steadily improving and he needs a win to solidify his spot in the Derby starting gate. Last time out in the Gr. II Louisiana Derby he had a perfect trip sitting right behind the pace setter but ultimately could not keep up with By My Standards and Spinoff down the lane. I see him being a bit further back than his usually running style as there are some fast horses in here, however he should be getting a nice trip down by or close to the rail. Desormeaux obviously feels he’s Derby material or he would have not opted to run here.
#4 – Anothertwistafate: The 2-1 morning line favorite and deservingly so after his last two performances. Two races back he took the El Camino Derby in gate to wire fashion over the synthetic surface at Golden going 9F. The son of Scat Daddy then went down to Sunland Park where he finished a game second behind Cutting humor in the Gr. III Sunland Park Derby on March 24th. If he runs his race, I feel he dominates this field. Strong win contender.
#5 – Harvey Wallbanger: Disappointed last time out in the Gr. I Florida Derby where he did very little running. The fractions were slow during the early stages, but he really had no excuse for such an effort. Prior to that effort he never missed the exacta in five starts and does get a little class relief here. The pace in here looks quick and I do think that should benefit him, so a rebound effort is not out of the question. As of now, Harvey Wallbanger has 10 points on the Derby trail and even with a victory here on Saturday he still wouldn’t crack the top 20. The only way he gets in is if he wins this race, and at least four or five horses opt out of the Derby. Can’t discount him here and going back to 8.5F should be more suitable.
#6 – Chase the Ghost: Comes into this race with a 7-1-2-0 record with just under $50K in career earnings. Dallas Stewart has been known to blow up an exacta or two, however I can’t see this horse beating this group. In the Gr. II Risen Star, he did have some trouble down the stretch but he was not getting to the winners that day regardless. I see Mena sitting off the pace and making a late run turning for home. Will pass here.
#7 – Knicks Go: Has not returned to his two-year old form and has two poor efforts in the Gr. II Sam F. Davis and the Gr. III Gotham. The last time this horse won, it was over this very track (October). This will be his third start off the layoff and Jimenez will have him up on the pace during the early stages. I still feel this one’s best days are behind him however he if hit the board I would not be totally surprised.
#8 – Owendale: Was last seen finishing 8th in the Gr. II Risen Star back on February 16th. From looking at his past performances I don’t think this guy wants to go much farther than a mile. Two races back he won over a good surface when pressing the pace after he took off from post one in a six-horse field. Florent Geroux will take the mount and he and Cox have been winning at a 34% clip over the last 60 days (47 mounts). Could use underneath.
#9 – Zenden: This guy will likely be a pace factor and if I am the jock, I send him right to the front as there is a not much runway going into the first turn. Last time out in the Gr. II Tampa Bay Derby, this guy set blistering fractions and held on to finish fourth behind Tacitus and Win Win Win, both of whom have came back to run huge in their following starts. The son of Fed Biz will be making his third start off a layoff for trainer Victor Barboza and Tyler Gaffalione will take over the mount. Could be maturing at the right time and I expect a solid effort in this spot.
#10 – Roiland: Another improving type for Tom Amoss but he just doesn’t seem to be a Derby horse in my eyes. His last four starts have come in the graded stakes ranks with his best finish being a third in the Gr. II Risen Star. Given his late running style a fast pace could play out to his benefit and it would not shock me for him to finish third or fourth in here. I would imagine Graham takes him to the rail during the early stages trying to save ground and find his way through late down the lane.
Top Four: 4 – 9 – 5 - 1

Kentucky Derby 2019 Prep Race Recap: Roadster wins SA Derby
A Kentucky Derby 2019 contender trained by Bob Baffert won the Santa Anita Derby on April 6, but not the one you might think. Two-year-old champion Game Winner was nailed in late stretch by his lightly raced stablemate Roadster, and both have secured enough points to run in the Derby.
Check out Today's Racing Digest for handicapping products, analysis, and more! Roadster capture above courtesy of Today's Racing Digest.
Santa Anita Derby Top to Bottom Rundown:
1st - Roadster - Was patiently handled by a confident Mike Smith. He was content to sit in 5th place, about five lengths or so behind the top four after six panels. He started making serious inroads while racing outside in the stretch, and got past Game Winner in deep stretch to score by a 1/2 length. This was exactly what you want to see heading into the Derby. He finished up like he wants more ground than a mile and an eighth. The highly regarded colt should only get better as the year progresses.
2nd - Game Winner - Won all four of his starts last year and has been a bit unlucky in both of his 2019 outings. He missed by a nose in the Rebel Stakes (G2) last month, and he returned in three weeks and was second best again. He stalked wide from the outside post and should have gotten plenty out of both Derby preps this year.
3rd - Instagrand - He had a flashy juvenile campaign and came back with an okay 3rd in the Gotham Stakes (G3) in New York last month. This was his first two turn test and he set the pace and ended up a clear 3rd. He does not have enough points to run in the Kentucky Derby and that is probably a good thing. His future is probably in shorter events.
4th - Nolo Contesto - Roadster defeated him in an optional claiming route at Santa Anita last month, and he could not hang with that rival today either. He chased Instagrand and made a run for the lead in the lane but weakened in the final furlong. He has some talent but is a cut or two below the best.
5th- Synthesis - Chased the pace and steadily retreated as a 66-1 outsider.
6th- More Ice - Trailed throughout as the longest shot in the field.

Kentucky Derby 2019 Prep Race Recap: Tacitus over Tax in Wood Memorial
Aqueduct Race Course
4/6/2019
Race Round-Up: (R10) Gr. II Wood Memorial Stakes (3yr M, 1-1/8th Mile Dirt, $750,000)
Track Condition: Fast
Final Time: 1:51.23
Tacitus proved his worth on Saturday when he overcame a troubled beginning and eventually got up to win by a length and a quarter over Tax. He now has two Gr. II wins under his belt and put himself atop the Kentucky Derby 2019 leader board with 150 points. Traveling fourth down the backstretch, the son of Tapit went through fractions of 23.62, 46.91, 1:11.46, 1:37.81 before crossing the wire at 1:51.23. I have to say, this was an incredible run given the circumstances going into the first turn and the way he overcame adversity must sit well with bettors going into the Derby. Unless something crazy happens in the next two weeks I would imagine he’ll be a top three betting choice come May 4th.
Check out Today's Racing Digest for handicapping products, analysis, and more! Tacitus capture above courtesy of Today's Racing Digest.
The top four runners in here were Tacitus, Tax, Haikal, and Math Wizard. Tax solidified his Derby ticket by earning 40 tokens for his second-place finish and now sits in 12th with 52 points. Haikal came into this race with 50 points so he was most likely going to the Derby anyway, but he bumped up his total to 70 after his third-place effort. Math Wizard ran well for fourth, however he will not have enough to qualify for the Derby.
Let’s look at the race round up for Saturday’s Gr. II Wood Memorial Stakes:
#1 – Tacitus: Started well under Jose Ortiz but soon came under trouble due to Joevia coming across the field from post 11. Tax was a little bit ahead of Tacitus at this point who moved slightly outside Joevia going into the first turn. Due to this Ortiz had to pull up on the reins which caused his mount to drift outside which made Overdeliver drift further outside. Going into the backstretch Tacitus was moved down towards the rail and ran in fourth for much of the race before making a four-wide move into the stretch. He quickly had his sights set on Tax and soon headed the second-place finisher before powering away to win by a length and a quarter.
#2 – Tax: Had a great start from post one and was quickly joined by Joevia. Tax made a slight move outside of Joevia which caused further trouble to a few of the horses behind him. He settled in third down the backstretch before making the first jump on Not That Brady down the lane. He quickly took over the lead but had Tacitus right to his outside. He had a valiant effort but was no match for the winner and eventually finished second by a little more than a length.
#3 – Haikal: Was slow out of the gate like he usually is and settle between horses going into the first turn. He ended up in eighth down the backstretch and eventually had to make a move between the two Pletcher horses going into the final turn. Haikal skimmed the rail and kept fighting on to get up for third by a half length over Math Wizard.
#4 – Math Wizard: Ran evenly with Outshine to his outside out of the break. The jockey had to pull back on the reins slightly as Not That Brady pushed towards the front, but it was nothing too serious. He ended up in tenth on the backstretch where he got the jump on Haikal by splitting the two Pletcher horses. Entering the final turn, he was in fifth down by the rail and it looked like he would hold on for a third, but he was done running midway down the stretch.
#5 – Not That Brady: Broke well and was just able to avoid the traffic going into the first turn and ended up in third moving into the backstretch. He soon joined Joevia to his outside where the duo raced head to head leading up to the final turn. Joevia began to retreat at this point and Not That Brady went into the stretch with a slight lead over Tax. This lead did not last long, and the son of Big Brown faded to fifth losing by about five lengths.
#6 – Final Jeopardy: Had a clean break under Manny Franco and was quickly shuffled to fifth in between Tacitus and Overdeliever before the first turn. Down the backstretch he took up running in ninth before getting passed by Grumps Little Tots. He made up some ground entering the final turn and just got up for sixth over Joevia down the lane. Not a bad finish considering the circumstances going into the first turn.
#7 – Joevia (Disqualified and placed 11th): Took off from post 11 and made a strong move towards the rail going into the first turn. Due to this, Tacticus, Final Jeopardy, and Overdeliver were all negatively affected. Joevia was in first moving into the backstretch but was soon joined by Not That Brady where the two battled it out until Joevia began to retreat before the final turn. He was passed by Final Jeopardy down the lane to finish seventh but was eventually disqualified and placed last.
#8 – Hoffa’s Union: Did not break well but was able to avoid the trouble going into the first turn and sat about seventh in the early stages. Hoffa’s Union moved into fifth during the backstretch and really had no excuse from there. Entering the stretch, you can see the horse was done running so I feel it was too much too soon for this guy.
#9 – Grumps Little Tots: Began slowest of the group and was last going into the first turn. He soon passed Final Jeopardy but did little after that. Down the lane he was a little green and Lezcano pulled back on the reins signally he was finished at that point.
#10 – Outshine: Had an even beginning next to Math Wizard but Velazquez tried to push on towards the front runners entering the first turn. He was already wide at that point due to Overdeliver getting pushed further outside and ended up floating about seven-wide around the first turn. He was essentially done by this point but given the circumstances you could probably draw a line through this effort.
#11 – Overdeliver: Probably took the worst of the whole debacle going into the first turn and ended up going five to six around the first turn. He tried his best down the backstretch but ended up retreating before the final turn. You can probably draw a line through this effort as he arguably took the worst from the congestion going into the first turn.
