5 Wrote (IRE) Aidan O'Brien $556,630
Considering the fair showing by Master Of Hounds in last year's Kentucky Derby following a strong effort in the UAE Derby, I would anticipate that Wrote would be under serious consideration for this year's race with a similar effort.
Though his pedigree is all turf up close, he is inbred to the great Claiborne broodmare Special, who counts horses like Sadler's Wells, Nureyev, Archipenko, Corinthian, Numerous, Cease, and Blame among her descendants.
Also in the Dubai race is Daddy Long Legs, one of only 3 horses of 13 from the BC Juvenile (the other are stablemate Crusade and Fort Loudon) who have not at least placed in a significant prep race for the Kentucky Derby.
