We are now just over a month past the historic Triple Crown victory by American Pharoah. In most cases after a 37 year drought is ended, one should step back and wallow in the brilliance of a special horse. I however, cannot do this. I am just too excited to get back to business. Over the coming months, I will post more about the Breeders Cup and a follow up on American Pharoah, currently being pointed toward the Haskell in early August. I will also however be focusing especially on the Breeders Cup Juvenile, the winner of which is becomes the early favorite for the Run for the Roses. As of now, there have been very few American Juvenile races this year, but there have ben some interesting horses. Uncle Vinny, the son of Uncle Mo was the favorite in the Tremont, but finished off the board to Cocked and Loaded, son of Kentucky Derby contender Colonel John. The connections that led I'll Have Another to the winners circle in 2012 are teaming up again with Found Money. This Summer will not be the best racing of Juveniles but it will pick up in September, when the Derby points schedule begins with the Iroquois Stakes on September 5th. The Frontrunner, in late September was the race that American Pharoah won in the fall, the Breeders Futurity and the Champagne will all be eyed as early predictors of the lineup for the Breeders Cup Juvenile and eventually the Kentucky Derby.
