He also won the 2020 and 2021 renewals of the Colonel Power Stakes at Fair Grounds. “I wanted to get him a good break and we got away good from the inside, and he just took them all the way around there,” Hernandez said. Sent to post at odds of 4/1, Just Might paid $10, $5.20 and $3.40. Classy John, under Corey Lanerie, returned $4.20 and $3.20. Carotari, the 2/1 favorite, was another length back in third under Julien Leparoux and paid $2.80 to show. Johnny Unleashed, High Crime, Elusive Mischief, and Totally Boss completed the order of finish. Smart Remark, The Connector, and Verb were scratched.

Colby did an excellent job getting him away from there and around the turn, when he didn’t want to corner as well. He’s a big-hearted horse and it’s a very exciting week for our stable.” Just Might, a son of Justin Phillip out of the Dynameaux mare Dynamite Babe, was bred by Griffon Farms’ Robert Griffon and Lovell.
