2004 Kentucky Derby

[Kaitlyn]

Short Review

The 14-horse feild at the 2004 Kentucky Derby held amazing fillies and colts. A very close race with only a 7 length lead from Win to 14th place. The day started chilly but breezy, and by lunch had storms. At 2:30pm when loading time was, a slight mist was still leaking from the sky, and the sloppy track wasnt a pretty sight. Some of the trainers and jockies feared for the worst, but all horses had fairly nice times. At post time, all horses went in nicely with the exception of North Star T-Bird that has slight difficulty. Slew of Silver and NorthStar Cybelle both slipped coming out of the gates, and had a very unclean start. For the first 3 furlongs, they were trapped behind the pack. Cybelle and his jockey saw an opening near the rail and went for it, with Silver Following. Up front, Ruthless Intentions was trapped behind Charmer and Frequency. Frequency pulled a neck ahead at the 4 furlong marker, which opened up a niche at the rail. Ruthless saw it, and ran through it, slipping in between both Charmer and Frequency. At the 6 furlong marking, Sly Flyer and Charmer were battling out third place as Bywinds Hot Prospect slid back in the pack. Coming down the back stretch, Hot Prospect gained a solid third by about one length, and was gaining for a challenge for win and show. Ruthless and Frequency weren't giving up at all, and Frequency creeped ahead and slipped under the wire and won by a nose.
Congratulations WT Frequency
