Keeneland Sales Graduates Take Top Two Spots in Kentucky Derby

Keeneland Sales Graduates Take Top Two Spots in Kentucky Derby.  Thanks for choosing IdaBet.com!

In case you were wondering:

LEXINGTON, KY (May 7, 2016) – Graduates of the 2014 Keeneland September Yearling Sale – Nyquist and Exaggerator– finished 1-2 in today’s 142nd running of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) at Churchill Downs.

Nyquist is a graduate of two Keeneland auctions. In 2013, Paramount Sales, agent, consigned him as a weanling to the November Breeding Stock Sale, where he was purchased by Madison Farm for $180,000. At the 2014 September Sale, consignor Dromoland Farm, agent, sold Nyquist to Sutton Place Stables for $230,000. Bred by Summerhill Farm, he is trained by Doug O’Neill for Reddam Racing. The colt is the 20th Keeneland Sales graduate to win the Kentucky Derby.

The favored undefeated 2-year-old champion also completed his final three major works at Keeneland after arriving on April 3.

Big Chief Racing purchased runner-up Exaggerator for $110,000 at the 2014 September Sale and races the Keith Desormeaux trainee in partnership with Head of Plains Partners and Rocker Ranch et al. Bred by Joseph B. Murphy, the colt was consigned by Warrendale Sales, agent.

Keeneland’s 22nd annual Derby Day celebration hosted 19,029 fans who enjoyed picnics in the Paddock and Walking Ring, live music, children’s activities that included pony rides and face painting, a Derby hat contest and the Derby Bash at the Keene Barn & Entertainment Center. For the first time Keeneland’s popular tailgate lot, The Hill, was open and featured music, food trucks, wagering and more.

We thought you would want to know how the horses are finishing on the 142nd running of the Derby and the great racing action at Churchill today.  Although we regret Churchill’s decision to restrict their signal, we think that this information can be valuable to you down the road with other wager considerations.

By Ellis Starr – National Racing Analyst for Equibase

The field for the Grade 1, Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands is led by Nyquist, the undefeated (seven-for-seven) Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner and champion 2-Year Old. He has done everything asked of him and even though he will be the likely betting favorite, in a 20 horse field he may offer good return for the risk. Exaggerator finished second behind Nyquist in the Grade 2 San Vicente Stakes in February and two races later exploded on the far turn to win the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby, the same race won by 2014 Derby winner California Chrome and 2012 Derby winner I’ll Have Another. They are joined by the other major Derby prep winners in Grade 1 Arkansas Derby winner

Ironicus makes triumphant return in Fort Marcy
By Brian Bohl
BELMONT, N.Y. – Ironicus stalked the pace and rallied down the stretch to record a 1 ½-length win in Saturday’s Grade 3, $150,000 Fort Marcy for 4-year-olds and up on the inner turf at Belmont Park.
The Stuart S. Janney III-owned gray colt bested Smooth Daddy, who was 15-1 on the morning line but strong out of the gate and game until the end. Ironicus hit the wire in 1:50.82 for 1 1/8 miles to pace a field of seven. Ironicus, making his 2016 debut, registered his sixth career victory in 12 starts.
“[It was a] perfect trip,” winning jockey Jose Ortiz said. “He broke good. I was three-wide the whole race but I didn’t want to get behind horses and fight him. Coming in, I thought he was the best horse and he proved it. I’m thankful to Shug and Mr. Janney for the opportunity. They bought him in fit for his comeback and everyone in the barn did a good job getting him ready and it showed today.”
Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey saw Ironicus return in impressive fashion following a layoff to recover from a minor fracture in his right fore cannon bone. Ironicus, who last started in September 2015 in the Grade 2, $250,000 Bernard Baruch Handicap, now has won three of four graded stakes races, with one second-place showing to improve his career earnings to $663,615.
“We had him really going in the right direction last year, and then he hurt himself, which happens,” McGaughey said of Ironicus, who returned $3.80 for a $2 win wager. “But we’re glad to have him...
