Carson’s Run Outsprints Deterministic In Jockey Club Derby

[Wandering Eyes]

The scratching of morning-line favorite Legend of Time (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) deprived Saturday's GIII Jockey Club Derby Invitational Stakes of some of its luster, and CARSON'S RUN (c, 3, Cupid–Hot N Hectic, by Henny Hughes)–who was a strong winning chance Legend of Time or not–continued in his rich vein of form, rallying from sixth and last to lead home a 1-2 finish for the Christophe Clement stable over 'TDN Rising Star' Deterministic (Liam's Map). Favored at 3-2 when all was said and done, the $170,000 OBS April breezer was taken back to the tail of the field by the in-form Dylan Davis and raced a fraction keen into the stretch for the first time as a headstrong Yo Daddy (Yoshida {Jpn}) was asked for speed by Jose Lezcano and opened up passing under the wire with a circuit to travel. Positions remained largely unchanged down the backstretch as Yo Daddy continued to bowl along while better settled. Asked for his best with about 2 1/2 furlongs to race, Carson's Run was produced widest into the stretch, overtook El Rezeen (English Channel) and outbattled stablemate Deterministic to the line. Sales history: $35,000 Ylg '23 KEEJAN; $67,000 Ylg '23 FTKJUL; $170,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 9-5-2-0. O-West Point Thoroughbreds & Steven Bouchey; B-Frankfort Park Farm (KY); T-Christophe Clement.
