    • Today's 2 meetings so far, very ordinary, could that be because of 2 meetings..........but contradicting that Friday nights 2 meeting looked a slight improvement, no Friday night rugby, could that be a factor?
    • Magnitude did not disappoint the hopefuls as he took the Iowa Derby in style at Prairie Meadows on Saturday evening. Senior Racing Editor Steve Sherack's story this week on the colt's return to the races post-surgery reported that trainer Steve Asmussen was “dreaming big” about the Winchell-owned runner's prospects. The reason had something to do with the stellar result from the GII Fasig-Tipton Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds in mid-February when the 3-year-old won by 9 3/4 lengths with a 108 Beyer to boot. Prior to that, Magnitude had broken his maiden at second asking last summer at Ellis Park. After clearing an optional claimer at Churchill Downs Nov. 17, the Asmussen trainee placed in the Gun Runner Stakes at Fair Grounds Dec. 21. When he was well-beaten in the GIII Lecomte Stakes in New Orleans that set him up to be a massive price in the Risen Star at 43-1. Now that Magnitude recovered fully from his ankle chip, the bay came off the shelf and was installed as the 70 cents on the dollar choice here. The favorite fired like a bullet out of the gate and moved nicely towards the rail for the lead into the first turn. Though the colt was shadowed by a pair of competitors, Magnitude looked comfortable up the backstretch and around the far turn. Powering into the lane, the chalk was given a tap and finding another gear he strode to the wire looking like the Risen Star winner we saw earlier this year. Rockadelic was a $110,000 purchase by Freddie Bloodstock at the 2022 Keeneland November Sale while future colt Azum (McKinzie) was in-utero. That current 2-year-old, who went to SBS Global for $165,000 during Keeneland September, broke his maiden under the care of Jose D'Angelo at Gulfstream Park June 13. The winner's dam is also responsible for a yearling colt by Bolt d'Oro and she foaled a colt by Jack Christopher Mar. 24. Magnitude's second dam is GI Coaching Club American Oaks victress Octave (Unbridled's Song).
