How an easy 13-1 winner
on Derby day was selected
Pat Day Mile boss Macho Music won by 3 1/4 lengths
From our race preview:
MACHO MUSIC may be a tough contender and morning line 12-1 is far too big a price about this fast improving colt. Like Gate to Wire, he could be a horse that doesn't care much for further than seven panels, but he was visually impressive when winning at Tampa Bay Downs in late March, powering home by 'half the stretch' from P Four and Cajun Venom. Macho Music's time was almost 2 seconds better than the time recorded by Win N Your In in the fillies' divisions (she won by 7 lengths) and he did not beat cheap claimers in this race. P Four was exiting a 5 1/4-length maiden win and Cajun Venom won an allowance race by almost three lengths next time out. This is one of those case where we need to ask ourselves "how moderate can the horses he beat actually be?". Even when assessing his runner-up to Globeform 70 only, Macho Music comes out on Globeform 110. If we compare him to Win N Your In using their times, well, then he comes out with an even higher ratings. Either way, he has clearly turned a corner in recent weeks and the way he was ridden out, and kept going, indicates that a mile is within his compass. His dam won 4 of her 7 races, including a stakes event over 7 furlongs; but she was also third in an 8.5-furlong allowance heat at Keeneland as a juvenile, so could not have been all about speed.
