In frontrunning fashion, 'TDN Rising Star' Victory Formation (c, 3, Tapwrit–Smart N Soft, by Smart Strike) picked up ten points en route to the GI Kentucky Derby with this good-looking score in the Smarty Jones S. Asked for a bit of gas into the first turn by Flavien Prat to secure his lead, the bay cruised up the backstretch with ears pricked as Western Ghent (American Pharoah) tried to keep pace with him. Shaken up for the short run to the wire, Victory Formation cantered in with open lengths on his Brad Cox-trained stablemate Angel of Empire (Classic Empire) while Denington (Gun Runner) snuck in to round out the trifecta. The final time was 1:38.14. ($100,000 wlg '20 KEENOV; $150,000 Ylg '21 FTKJUL; $340,000 2yo '22 EASMAY.)
