Sunny's Halo's form going into the KY Derby:
There was also a PA Bred sired by Halo in that years KY Derby who just missed against Slew O' Gold in a division of the Wood Memorial.
That looked like a halfway decent enough Derby field. Besides the two Halo horses and Slew O' Gold - three solid horses in Play Fellow, Marfa, Desert Wine exited the Blue Grass. Caveat - the eventual Belmont winner was a well beaten 2nd to Sunny's Halo in the Ark Derby. Highland Park looks decent on paper. Explosive Wagon won 18 of 35.
Sunny's Halo won the Ark Derby with a 3.75 Ragozin and the KY Derby with a 4 Rag. Not shabby. If enough Giacomo's, Mine That Bird's and Super Saver's keep coming he might become one of the better Derby winners.
