B-Paget Bloodstock. T-Steve Asmussen. Sales history: $320,000 yrl KEESEP ’16. Lifetime Record: MGSP, 6-1-3-1, $338.550. Apr. 3 TDN Top 12 Rank: N/ALast Start: 3rd, GII Rebel S., OP, Mar. 17. Next Start: GI Arkansas Derby, OP, Apr. 14Equineline PPs. KY Derby Points: 22 Combatant has been plying his trade at Oaklawn this winter, racking up a series of second- and third-place finishes while close behind a handful of well-meant winners. As a result, you can’t discount his chances entirely in the Arkansas Derby, but he’s hardly the type of horse you run to the windows to back with zeal because this $320,000 KEESEP Scat Daddy colt doesn’t have any obvious excuses for not punching through to the next level. He’s been drawn in posts nine and ten for his last two route attempts; perhaps a better gate assignment will up his chances on Saturday. Stamina shouldn’t be an issue–he’s the only horse within the Top 20 to have made every single start of his career (six of ’em) at a mile or longer.
