Perhaps a prescient allusion on your part. Materiality, like Justify, earned his Derby points in a Grade 1 in his 3rd career start after debuting in a sprint just a couple of months beforehand. Not a particularly fruitful outcome for the Triple Crown races for the former.

Coincidentally, Materiality was bred by John Gunther who also bred Justify. Actually, John Gunther also bred Wood Memorial winner Vino Rosso and while he is not listed as breeder on Blue Grass winner Good Magic, he has been an owner/breeder of many key horses from Good Magic's female family including several of Glinda The Good's (dam of Good Magic) half sisters.

Should get the Eclipse for top breeder for this weekend alone.
