It’s a path similar to that taken by Doug O’Neill with. Both horses ran in the Del Mar Futurity, American Pharoah , Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and then the San Vicente. O’Neill waited seven weeks and shipped Nyquist to the Florida Derby, mostly enticed by a $1-million bonus. If Eurton uses a six-week model, it would put the colt in the Louisiana Derby or the lesser Sunland Derby.Of course, Storm the Court has to do well in Sunday’s race.
It’s certain that Storm the Court will not be the 45-1 longshot he was in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. He’ll likely be at least a co-favorite Sunday. “They are not going to let him have an easy lead,” Eurton said. “He’s going to have to learn to be tactical. That’s one thing we’ve been working on with him. He’s very comfortable being back there, but he tends to get a little more aggressive when he’s up front.”Jockey Flavien Prat, right, starts to celebrate after Storm the Court edged out Anneau D’or to win the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile on Nov. 1.
RIP storm the court
