Consider the lofty perch of Thousand Words to be more of an optimistic placeholder than emphatic assertion at this stage of the season. This $1-million KEESEP Pioneerof the Nile bay is undefeated in two starts, having debuted as a stalking sprint winner over 6 1/2 furlongs Oct. 26 at Santa Anita, then stretching out to two turns for a blinkers-on, pace-pressing score (over only three rivals and a sealed wet track) in the GII Los Alamitos Futurity. This colt earned style points by forcing an uncoupled stablemate through quick splits, yet still had enough fight and interest left to repel a stretch challenge from the runner-up in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, and Thousand Words galloped out stronger than that favored rival after the wire. No next-race prep has been etched in stone, but the GIII Robert Lewis S. or GII San Felipe S. have been mentioned as possibilities.
