Constitution’s Warrant Turns In Arresting Texas Derby Run

[Wandering Eyes]

Further validating the form of the May 1 Oaklawn S., whose winner Fulsome (Into Mischief) returned to take Saturday's GIII Matt Winn S., that one's stablemate WARRANT (c, 3, Constitution–Whisper Number, by First Samurai) overcame a brutally wide trip to take out Monday's $300,000 Texas Derby at Lone Star Park. Slightly worse than centerfield and purposefully kept out of the kickback five wide down the backstretch, the Twin Creeks runner was asked to improve leaving the three-eighths markert and was five or six wide into the stretch. He was able to sustain that long bid to overtake Mr. Wireless (Dialed In) at the sixteenth pole before going on to score narrowly in the finish. Warrant is the 21st worldwide stakes winner for WinStar's Constitution. O-Twin Creeks Racing Stable; B-Twin Creeks Farm (KY); T-Brad Cox.
