Trainer:D. Wayne Lukas Jockey:Jose Valdivia Jr. Foaling Date: 4-20-2002 Pedigree: Golden Missile - Pola by Strawberry Road Dosage Profile: 5-1-9-1-0 Dosage Index/CD: 1.91 0.63 2004 Record: 4 starts 1-2-1 $46,900 Best Beyer Figure: 100 (104 sprint) Note: Winner of the San Miguel and Sham Stakes at Santa Anita then finished second to Declan's Moon in the Santa Catalina. Wire to wire running style is a concern, but he has won a 1 1/8 miles already. Finished a very disappointing last in the Wood Memorial. Peter Hutton, the New York-based assistant to D. Wayne Lukas said, "Wayne said to just draw a line through it and send him back to Kentucky." He was a very well beaten 5th in the Lexington Stakes then a miserable 18th after chasing the early leader in the Kentucky Derby.
