My top ranked Kentucky Derby 2017 contender Mastery
passed his first two turn test and ran his record to 3-for-3 with a
7-1/4 length triumph in the Grade I CashCall Futurity at Los Alamitos
Race Course on Saturday, December 10, 2016.
How good is Mastery
and is he a legitimate Kentucky Derby contender? He is obviously
talented after a trio of easy wins at three different venues (SA, DMR,
LRC) to begin his career. His 91 BSF for his Los Alamitos CashCall
Futurity romp was okay but hardly stellar. He will need to improve next
year to be considered a viable threat in the Triple Crown series but he
has done nothing wrong so far and has all of the attributes of a quality
horse (strong connections, nice pedigree, winning spirit, and a fine
blend of speed/stamina).

Later today at Los Alamitos Race Course, my top ranked Kentucky Derby 2017 contender Mastery makes his much anticipated first start around two turns in the Grade I Los Alamitos Futurity.
Mastery
easily captured both of his dirt sprint starts in wire-to-wire fashion
including the Grade 3 Bob Hope at Del Mar on Nov 19. He only faces four
rivals at Los Al and debut maiden sprint winner Bobby Abu Dhabi might be able to give him an early test.
Dangerfield, a distant 3rd last time in the G3 Delta Jackpot is also entered, along with debut route winner Show Me Da Lute (trained by Bob Baffert) and maiden Irap.
