Godolphin's Cody's Wish ran his record to 4 for 4 at Churchill Downs, holding off a gritty Three Technique to win the closing-day, $175,000 Hanshin Stakes under Junior Alvarado. We talk with Kenny McCarthy, who runs Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott's Churchill Downs operation; Godolphin's director of bloodstock Michael Banahan. Also: trainer Jason Cook and jockey Rafael Bejarano after they came up just short of winning their second stakes with David Miller's $40,000 claim Three Technique, who won the restricted Knicks Go Stakes on Derby Day at 36-1 odds. Read about the story of Cody's Wish, a special namesake for Cody Dorman https://paulickreport.com/news/people/codys-wish-makes-dreams-come-true-for-15-year-old-namesake/

Leonard Green's Wonder Wheel improved on her 2 1/4-length debut victory June 3 with a 6 3/4-length romp over Sabra Tuff in Churchill Downs' closing-day, $175,000 Debutante for 2-year-old fillies. Afterward we speak with David Carroll, who runs Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse's Churchill division, and jockey Tyler Gaffalione, who capped a record-setting meet.

Gulfport becomes another in an illustrious line of very fast horses campaigned by Bill and Corinne Heiligbrodt, longtime clients of trainer Steve Asmussen. The son of champion Uncle Mo followed up a seven-length victory on June 10 at Churchill Downs with a 12 1/4-length romp over Owen's Leap in the closing-day $175,000 Bashford Manor. Off at 1-5 odds, Gulfport completed 6 furlongs in 1:09.25 - the second-fastest time in 121 runnings of the 2-year-old stakes. Afterward we catch up with jockey Brian Hernandez Jr., Corinne Heiligbrodt and Asmussen, who clinched his latest Churchill training title with the victory. And check out the groom with Gulfport in the paddock and leading him onto the track! That's a true Hall of Famer - with a knot at the end of the shank!

The Steve Asmussen-trained King Ottoman - best known as champion Echo Zulu's workmate in the weeks heading into the Kentucky Oaks until winning the Texas Derby -- worked an easy half-mile in 49 seconds Monday morning at Churchill Downs in preparation for this Saturday's $300,000, Grade 3 Indiana Derby at @Horseshoe Indianapolis Racing. Indy's meet-leading rider Marcelino Pedroza has the mount.

The road to the winner's circle Saturday for either @Horseshoe Indianapolis Racing's $300,000, Grade 3 Indiana Derby or @Prairie Meadows Casino, Racetrack, & Hotel's $250,000 Iowa Derby very well runs through @Churchill Downs​. The Michael McCarthy-trained Actuator, an impressive CD maiden winner, is among the horses to be cross-entered in both races. Video starts with b-roll of Actuator's work Saturday under jockey James Graham, when the son of Kentucky Derby runner-up Bodemeister worked five-eighths of a mile in a bullet 59.20 seconds. Actuator was sold at @FasigTiptonCo's 2020 February mixed sale for $2,200. Good things come in inexpensive packages!

Update: Conagher, the exciting 3-year-old who has romped to allowance victories at Keeneland and Churchill Downs in his last two starts, was not entered in the Indiana Derby and will run in Saturday's Iowa Derby. The colt worked five-eighths of a mile July 3 in a "bullet" minute flat in preparation for the $250,000 Iowa Derby. Afterward, we spoke with jockey Joe Rocco and trainer Mike Tomlinson.

Ron Winchell's Wicked Halo, who last year became one of the first stakes winners for burgeoning super-sire Gun Runner in Saratoga's G2 Adirondack, won back-to-back stakes at Churchill Downs, rolling in the $200,000 Tepin Stakes taken off the turf and run at a one-turn mile. Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen talks about the 3-year-old filly Wicked Halo -- and how Gun Runner (whom he trained) has turned the family's listed stakes-winners into graded stakes-winners.

Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Aloha West, in his third start of the year, got a bit of class relief and narrowly held off Miles Ahead to win Churchill Downs' $160,000 Kelly's Landing Overnight Stakes. We talk with jockey Joel Rosario, now 3-for-3 on Aloha West but riding the horse for the first time since September, and Paul McGee, trainer of the valiant Miles Ahead. Winning trainer Wayne Catalano snuck out on us before we could catch him, purportedly making a beeline to the Directors Room.

Owners Lucky Seven Stable and trainer Kenny McPeek took advantage of the $200,000 American Derby being carded on dirt instead of turf, as Rattle N Roll earned his first victory as a 3-year-old. Spoiler alert: Since he didn't work Rattle N Roll before this race became a last-minute option, McPeek didn't discount running him back next Saturday in the Iowa Derby or the Indiana Derby. (He's just THINKING about it! No commitment. But then, he's never been afraid to think outside the box)

Actuator is another impressive Churchill Downs winner (maiden in first start for trainer Michael McCarthy) who is expected to be cross-entered in Prairie Meadows Casino, Racetrack & Hotel’s $250,000 Iowa Derby and Horseshoe Indianapolis Racing & Casino’s $300,000, Grade 3 Indiana Derby. We caught up with jockey James Graham after working Actuator five-eighths of a mile in 59.20 seconds Saturday. Thanks to Matthew Reidy in Michael’s barn for sharing Jake Ballis’ video taken from the frontside of the work!

Iowa’s showcase card drew this past Saturday, with Indiana taking entries July 4. Kentucky horsemen will be well-represented on both cards Saturday. … See MoreSee Less
