Kentucky Derby 2016 Results
The first loss for Cathryn Sophia came in April earlier this year when she finished third after Weep No More and Valentia at the Grade 1 Ashland Stakes.
Brian Zipse was quoted saying, “She started slow, but move forward slowly and steadily toward the outside of the pack. Then, she went three wide before shooting into fourth place at the three-quarter-mile mark. And then, once the backstretch rolled around, jockey Javier Castellano unleashed her full speed as she separated from Land over Sea, Lewis Bay and Rachel’s Valentina.”
Cathryn Sophia was not that much fan favorite as were the Lewis Bay and Rachel’s Valentia. Both of them were hoped to get the prime positions on Friday afternoon.
According to the report of WLKY.com, Lewis Bay was the only horse who have won a 1 1/8 mile race. And it appeared to be the main reason which made the difference.
Valentia of Rachel was the another horse to watch out for. It was fun to watch her. The Racing Stats and Info stated that the morning live favorite failed to win the Oaks in five of the last six years.
Overall, yesterday’s Oaks was a superb show, and it showed what should be the ingredients of a thrilling Kentucky Derby.
