Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 8, 2019 Journalists Share Posted April 8, 2019 WIN WIN WIN (c, Hat Trick {Jpn}-Miss Smarty Pants, by Smarty Jones) O-Live Oak Plantation. B-Live Oak Stud (FL). T-Michael Trombetta. Lifetime Record: SW & MGSP, 6-3-2-1, $367,300. Last Start: 2nd, GI Blue Grass S., KEE, Apr. 6 Next Start: GI Kentucky Derby, CD, May 4Equineline PPs. KY Derby Points: 50. Of all the horses who hit the board but did not win in Saturday’s trio of graded preps, this Hat Trick (Jpn)-sired homebred ran the most sneaky-good race, and with a pair of Derby-winning grandsires in his pedigree (Sunday Silence and Smarty Jones), this colt could emerge as the “wise guy” horse in Louisville. Win Win Win was bumped mildly at the break, showed a high level of confidence while rating at the back of a 14-horse field, advanced patiently through the pack, then steadied briefly while winding up for his run approaching the five-sixteenths pole. He commenced a bid five-wide off the turn, shifted out wider while trying to avoid running up on the heels of a tiring rival, then locked into a determined drive that earned him the place photo by a nose over a track that was not at all conducive to closers. “I don’t think we necessarily have to talk about distance being a limitation for him anymore,” said trainer Michael Trombetta. “This was only his second start around two turns and he’s really starting to figure it out.” VIDEO PPS FINISH RACE 2nd GII Toyota Blue Grass S. 3rd GII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby 1st Pasco S. 2nd Heft S. 1st Allowance 1st Maiden View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
