Undefeated 3yo potential superstar SONG OF INDY<\/B> showed that he doesn’t need the early lead to win a big race while punching his own ticket to Louisville for the Bluegrass Derby.<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT>
<\/P>

In Saturday’s Grade 1 Corkscrew Stakes, the grey colt by Unbridled’s Song took back slightly and settled in fourth while <\/SPAN>UNION BUSTER<\/B> banged heads with <\/SPAN>WITH MALICE<\/B> and <\/SPAN>PLAYING FOR TIPS<\/B> for the early lead. As the horses came around the far turn, <\/SPAN>SONG OF INDY<\/B> slipped forward on the rail and got the lead while <\/SPAN>UNION BUSTER <\/B>and <\/SPAN>WITH MALICE <\/B>succombed to the pressure. <\/SPAN>PLAYING FOR TIPS <\/B>held on well, only giving way slightly, but <\/SPAN>DJ’S GOLDEN RIVER<\/B> mounted a charge from mid-pack and began a rush toward the wire.<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT>
<\/P>

However, that late charge could not get to the winner, <\/SPAN>SONG OF INDY<\/B>. That one held on comfortably to win by \u00be length, stopping the clock at a nifty 1:48.3. <\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT>
<\/P>

Speculation is that <\/SPAN>DJ’S GOLDEN RIVER<\/B>, who has now been 2<\/SPAN>nd<\/SPAN><\/SUP> in four consecutive stakes races, will also likely make the trip to Louisville to try ’em again.<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT>
<\/P>

Now 7-for-7, the <\/SPAN>ebucher07-<\/SPAN><\/I>trained <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>SONG OF INDY <\/B><\/SPAN>will likely be the favorite come the first Saturday in May in Louisville. He hopes to join these Sim legends who took a Corkscrew win on to Derby success: Buda With The Slew, 2001; Tuff Enuff, 2004; Anticosti, 2005; Virtuoso, 2006, and Ataun, 2007. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
