KY Derby Points: 0. One side effect of Derby fever in recent seasons has been an unprecedented zeal to try top-level juvenile grass horses on dirt as sophomores. This $160,000 KEESEP pinhook, who re-sold for $850,000 at OBSMAR and capped a three-for-three season with a mature, capable win in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf, could make that transition because of the unflappable presence he displayed in two stakes starts. Two seasons ago the Juvy Turf produced three Derby starters (Mendelssohn, Flameaway, My Boy Jack), and last year War of Will parlayed a Juvy Turf fifth in into a trip-troubled Derby seventh before winning the GI Preakness. S. Trainer Chad Brown told TDN after the Breeders’ Cup that, “I’m curious to find out what he can do on the dirt in the spring. We’ve been running him on the turf because there are more distance races available to him than had we started out on dirt.” Structor’s poise in his first race against winners–holding off a cavalry charge in the GIII Pilgrim S.–is worth a watch in case you need a convincer about how well he handles pressure.
