Two of the horses were trained by Saffie Joseph Jr. The deaths included Derby contender Wild On Ice. “Man, he tried so hard and ran his heart out,” said Larry Rivelli, who trains Two Phil’s.
The colt earned $1,860,000 for the biggest win of his brief career. “This is the dream I have, a year-and-a-half ago, I wrote a note: ‘We’re going to win the Derby next year.’”įorte, the early favorite, was scratched in the morning with a bruised foot, one of five horses that dropped out in the run-up to the race.
“Everything went according to plan,” Delgado Jr. Mage passed him at the eighth-pole and went on to victory. Mage swung to the outside and took aim on the leader. Two Phil’s stormed to the lead at the top of the stretch. “Turning for home, he had a lot of heart,” Castellano said. Castellano and Mage began picking off the competition and on the far turn launched their run. Going into the backstretch, Mage was ahead of just three horses.
