Lifetime Record: GISP, 3-1-1-0, $227,950. Apr. 3 TDN Top 12 Rank: N/ALast Start: 2nd, GI Florida Derby, GP, Mar. 31. Next Start: Possible for GI Kentucky Derby, CD, May 5.Equineline PPs. KY Derby Points: 40 This Tapit homebred for Juddmonte Farms mustered up an encouraging try when ambitiously spotted in the Florida Derby off a maiden win and just two previous starts. It’s always an eye-opener when trainer Bill Mott opts for such a lofty goal with a relatively inexperienced young horse, and Hofburg was widest off the bend for home in Florida Derby yet never looked discouraged when giving chase to a much more experienced winner in Audible. Should his connections decide on a Kentucky Derby start (Hofburg right now is 17th on qualifying points) this is the sort of colt who could be capable of a bombs-away showing while totally ignored in the betting.
