6. Battalion Runner
Derby Points/Rank: 0 – NR
Race Record: (2) 1-1-0
Earnings: $36,600
Breeding: Unbridled’s Song – Tamboz
Owner: St. Elias Stable
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Last Race: Maiden Special Weight at Gulfstream Park, Finished 1st
Analysis: I already know that I’ll take some criticism for putting a Todd Pletcher maiden winner this high based on the prior record of these types, but I can’t get over the talent he has displayed. I was even more excited when the second place finisher of his maiden romp, Lookin for Eight, came back to dominate a maiden special weight on Pegasus day at Gulfstream Park. Battalion Runner is entered in an allowance race this Friday at Gulfstream Park.
