Derby features
strong, full field
DERBY from page 9
in the past couple,” said trainer Nick
Zito, who will fry to win a third Derby
with Stephen Got Even and Adonis.
“He’s been unbelievably great, but he
still has to be lucky... ”
“I’ve been lucky,” Baffert said on
the morning after a full field of 20 3
year-olds was entered for the 125th
Derby. “I don’t know what it is.”
What it is besides hard work and
luck is cooperative owners and a staff
Baffert calls the best in racing.
Both Pegram and John Mabee,
owner of Excellent Meeting, said it
was up to Baffert on whether the fil
lies run in the Oaks or the Derby.
Excellent Meeting was entered in
both races, although Mabee, who also
owns General Challenge, said he pre
ferred the Oaks. Baffert said he would
make a final decision Friday, but
appeared to be leaning toward the
Derby.
The entry of Excellent Meeting
and General Challenge was made the
3-1 early favorite. Aaron Jones’ Prime
Timber, winner of the San Felipe and
runner-up in the Santa Anita Derby,
was next at 7-2.
Baffert said he feels no pressure
about trying to become the first per
son to be involved with three straight
Derby winners. He is only the sixth to
have a shot at it
“I think about just getting back,”
Baffert said. “I know there’s going to
be a year when I don’t have anything,
I just try to stay calm and cool and
enjoy the moment. The Derby’s
becomes a fun thing for me. It’s like a
vacation.”
Baffert’s bam, as it was in 1997
98, has been a magnet for the media
and the curious, who gather to gawk at
the horses, ask questions and listen to
Baffert’s stories.
Like the one about Baffert work
ing as a substitute teacher in his home
town of Nogales, Ariz., in 1977-78.
“I was making $20 a day, five days
a week,” he said. “On weekends, I’d go
to Tucson and blow my check.”
Or how about the advice he gave
to a high school history class?
“I don’t care what you do, but if
that door opens,” he told the students,
“I want everybody looking down like
they’re studying.”
Besides Baffert’s entry, Worldly
Manner and Aljabr, owned by mem
bers of the ruling Maktoum family of
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, are
entered.
There will be a five-horse mutuel
pool for betting purposes, comprised
of Ecton Park, K One King,
Kimberlite Pipe, Lemon Drop Kid
andValhol.
The fillies Excellent Meeting and
Three Ring each will carry 121
pounds; the others 126 apiece.
The field for the Derby in post
position order is: Adonis, Jorge
Chavez; Three Ring, John Velazquez;
Ecton Park, Robbie Davis; Stephen
Got Even, Chris McCarron; Aljabr,
Daragh O’Donahue; Excellent
