CLEANING OUT THE NOTEBOOK
By Joe Sucec
For those in the thoroughbred horse
racing world, every late winter and early
spring means one thing- the preparatory
races for the Kentucky Derby. There's
the Gotham and the Wood Memorial at
Aqueduct in New York, the California
and Santa Anita Derbys at Santa Anita,
the Flamingo and Florida Derbys at
Hialeah, and the Louisiana and Arkansas
Derbys at the Fairgrounds and Oaklawn
respectively.
Every year, the above races whittle
down the thousands of fast three year
olds to but a few for the Derby and the
other two Triple Crown races. The horses
that answer the call to post at Churchill
for the Derby are supposedly the best
that North America's stables have pro
duced in a given year. The older horses
get their chance later in the year, in
races like the Marlboro and the Arlington
Million. For the time being, however, the
Derby starters are considered the best
thoroughbred racing has to offer.
They were until this year.
In said preparatory races, no less than
three odds-on Derby favorites went down
with various injuries and ailments. First
there was D'Accord, the great New York
hope-he collapsed in training for the
Wood and was retired to stud. Then, out
of Florida, was Timely Writer-after the
Florida Derby, that colt turned up with a
rather untimely and rather suspicious
leg injury. Scratch Timely Writer.
The favorites' role then fell to Hostage,
the surprise - winner of the Arkansas Der
by. Less than ten days before the Derby,
he, too, went down, the victim of another
suspicious leg injury.
Count em. Three off-on favorites-three
injuries, all sudden, two of a rather
suspicious nature. Now this reporter is
not going to make any rash accusations,
but it sure sounds as if somebody
desperately wanted to win that race.
Whether or not you agree with that line
of thinking, you do have to agree that the
horses that did start this year's Derby
are among the weakest in fifteen years.
The winner, Gato Del Sol, finished in
2:02.1, a slow time at 1 1 / 2 miles for even
the kind of stock Penn National has been
running of late. The best three year old
this year may well be Conquistador
Cielo, who did not even run in the Derby
or the Preakness. Conquistador Cielo set
a track record of 1:33 on Memorial day in
the Metropolitan Mile at Belmont.
Moreover, Linkage and Aloma's Ruler,
along with Conquistador Cielo, have not
been able to consistently match the per
formance of the great horses of the past
(Secretariat, Affirmed, seattle Slew, et
al) in the same races over the same
courses.
So, what about the older horses? Will
they be able, like the great John Henry
last year, to overshadow the three year
olds and provide race fans with
something to be optimistic about this
year? Well, last year's good three year
old, Pleasant Colony, has already been
retired to stud. As has Temperance Hill,
the New York-based distance king of two
years ago. The great filly of that same
year, derby winner Genuine Risk, has
also been retired and is currently being
bred to the greatest thoroughbred in
history, Secretariat. John Henry himself
has reached the age of eight and, like the
great Forego at that advanced age for a
racehorse, has shown some signs of slow
ing down.
