Riker eyeing Breeders' Cup, earns Derby points, with Grey
victory
Tucci Stable's Riker (Include) earned both a shot at the Breeders' Cup
Juvenile (G1) at Keeneland on October 31 as well as 10 points toward a starting
berth in the Kentucky Derby (G1) next May at Churchill Downs
after wiring Sunday's $114,045 Grey S. (Can-G3) at Woodbine.
The Grey
is part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby series of races offering points to
next spring's Run for the Roses. Riker now finds himself on the Derby
leaderboard, but first up trainer Nick Gonzalez is talking the Breeders' Cup for
his charge.
Earlier at Woodbine on Sunday, Ivan Dalos' homebred
Gamble's Ghost (Ghostzapper) got up after a troubled trip under Luis Contreras
to post a three-quarter length victory in the $136,169 Mazarine S. (Can-G3).
Conditioned by Josie Carroll, the dark bay lass earned 10 points for the
Kentucky Oaks (G1), as the
is part of the Road to the Kentucky Oaks series of races awarding points for
that contest.
