Pretty exciting Derby 136, right? Super Saver takes the victory, with master Churchill Downs rider Calvin Borel aboard - giving Borel wins in 3 of the last 4 Derbies. Todd Pletcher finally nabs a Kentucky Derby victory, after going 0 for 24. All pretty special, right? Why are we especially excited?
SUPER SAVER's granddam, Get Lucky (by Mr. Prospector), and our very own FROST GIANT's granddam, Oscillate (by Seattle Slew), are 1/2-sisters.
Frost Giant already boasts a pedigree with the likes of such great sires as MUTAKDDIM, Not for Love, and up-and-comer freshman sire BLUEGRASS CAT. Now he has the potential to add a Triple Crown winner to his already excellent page.
Congratulations to all of the connections of SUPER SAVER: Owner/Breeder WinStar Farm, Trainer Todd Pletcher, and jockey Calvin Borel! Bring on the Preakness!
