Louisville, Ky. – iT was a mix of emotions in the circle of the Churchill Downs winner on Saturday when Kentucky Derby 150 winner Mystics and Dug for a three -quarters of a length victory in the $ 500,000 Lukas Classic (Grade II) with replacement rider Francisco Arrieta on board for the injured Brian Hernandez JR.
“Brian helped this horse to come here. He really deserved to be on him today and deserves to be on him next time”, Kenny McPeek said. “In the meantime, Francisco did well and with the work he did, I thought he deserves to drive him back. That is all assuming that Brian will not be back for the Breeders’ Cup, but that is outside of my control.”
Mystik Dan, owned by Lance Gasaway, 4 g Racing LLC (Brent Gasaway), Daniel Hamby III and Valley View Farm LLC (Scott Hamby), achieved a career-best 104 Brisnet speed rating in the Lukas Classic, almost four months ago.
“He had every reason to be defeated (in the Lukas Classic),” said McPeek. “He was blocked there, but that showed the turn of the foot he has. As Francisco said after the race:” He is like a Maserati. “He can just press and go on the accelerator pedal.”
McPeek said that on Saturday, November 1, Mystik will probably focus the $ 1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (GI) on Del Mar.
“As a stallion perspective, I think the dirt mile is a really good place for him,” said McPeek.
Another horse that could be in the dirty mile is that of Wathnan Racing TumbarumbaThat Saturday scored an upset victory on a tough favorite Most wanted In the $ 335,000 ACK ACK (GIII).
“We knew that the most desirable had a lot of speed and was the heavy favorite,” said Jockey Tyler Gaffalione. “We couldn’t let him get away too easily at the front. Fortunately my horse jumped well and took me to a great position.”
Tumbarumba, trained by Brian Lynch, earned a 96 BrisNet speed classification in the win.
The gelding bred by Louisiana finished fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile from last year 33-1.
