Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 7, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 7, 2018 VINO ROSSO (c, 3, Curlin–Mythical Bride, by Street Cry {Ire})finally put it all together then survived a steward’s inquiry to make the grade and stamp his ticket to the GI Kentucky Derby in Saturday afternoon’s GII Wood Memorial S. Sitting in midpack behind a hot pace set by a run-off leader, the $410,000 KEESEP yearling advanced outside of favored Enticed (Medaglia d’Oro) turning for home. The 4-1 shot brushed with his rival repeatedly in the run to the wire, but ultimately found more and kicked away late for a three-length tally in 1:49.79. Bob Baffert trainee Restoring Hope (Giant’s Causeway) rounded out the trifecta. Vino Rosso took his debut here in November followed by a Tampa optional claimer on the stretch out Dec. 22. Third in the GIII Sam F. Davis S. Feb. 10, he was a somewhat disappointing fourth in the GII Tampa Bay Derby Mar. 10. This victory represented the third straight on the card for trainer Todd Pletcher, who took the GI Carter H. with fellow St Elias Stable-owned Army Mule (Friesan Fire) followed by the GIII Bay Shore S. with National Flag (Speightstown). Lifetime Record: 5-3-0-1. O-Repole Stable & St Elias Stable. B-John D Gunther (Ky). T-Todd A Pletcher. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
