Goldencents Colt Blows Up the Tote in LA Derby

BY MY STANDARDS (c, 3, Goldencents–A Jealous Woman, by Muqtarib) became the first graded winner from his MGISW sire (by Into Mischief)’s first crop with a 22-1 upset in the GII Louisiana Derby. The bay kept a close eye on the leaders from a ground-saving fourth through moderate early splits. Slipping through on the fence to take the advantage in early stretch, he was confronted by Spinoff (Hard Spun) to his outside, but kept on finding to skip clear of that rival in the final strides and secure his spot in the gate for the Run for the Roses. Favored war of Will (War Front) never threatened and finished well back. Runner-up on debut in a sloppy Churchill sprint Nov. 24, By My Standards filled the same spot in a two-turn test at Fair Grounds Dec. 22 and was third next out in NOLA Jan. 19. He broke through last time with a 4 1/4-length graduation going 1 1/16 miles over this strip Feb. 16. Lifetime Record: 5-2-2-1.
