KY Derby Points: 20. ‘TDN Rising Star’ Country House was green but game in chasing home top-ranked War of Will in the Risen Star S., and the performance rates even more impressively when you consider that he was a May 8 foal shipping to an unfamiliar track and racing for the first time outside the maiden ranks. This Lookin At Lucky homebred got a good schooling out of the effort too, breaking twelfth, rating in traffic, then advancing four wide on the far turn. He split horses five-sixteenths out, barreled five wide into the lane, then lugged in and shied off heels before finishing up willingly enough to suggest nine furlongs is well within the scope of his ability. Country House will get a rematch with War of Will in the Louisiana Derby, and if he still needs seasoning or qualifying points, trainer Bill Mott has indicated he thinks this colt is robust enough to start in one additional prep if rather than wait the six weeks between Mar. 23 and the Kentucky Derby.
