Champion colt returns in Holy Bull Stakes
Horseracing Betting Lines
01/27/2012 -
Hallandale Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two weeks after being announced as the
2011 Eclipse Award winning two-year-old colt, Hansen makes his 2012 debut in
Sunday's $400,000 Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park. The Holy Bull is part
of the track's stakes series for Kentucky Derby hopefuls.
Trained by Mike Maker, Hansen has been made the 6-5 morning-line favorite in
the six-horse field. The three-year-old, owned by Dr. Kendall Hansen and Sky
Chai Racing, will have the services again of jockey Ramon Dominguez and start
from post four.
In winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile last November, Hansen defeated 11-10
favorite Union Rags by a head while setting the entire pace in the 1 1/16-
mile race.
Undefeated in three career starts, Hansen has gone wire-to-wire in all three
races. The colt's trainer has an interesting view on that style of running.
"It's no different than a closer. You're dependant on the pace," Maker noted.
"You just hope no one makes him go quicker earlier than he has to."
Hansen began his career at Turfway Park with a 12 1/4-length win and followed
with a 13 1/4-length triumph at Turfway in the Kentucky Cup Juvenile. His
earnings stand a $1,153,305
Another undefeated colt is the 5-2 second choice. Starlight Stable's
Algorithms makes his stakes and season debut on Sunday. Regular rider Javier
Castellano has the mount and the pair will break from the outside post for
trainer Todd Pletcher.
"He's trained very well," Pletcher said. "His first two races have been
excellent, he's bred to stretch out and we're optimistic he's a top-level
colt."
Algorithms first raced last June at Belmont Park and posted a five-length win
as the 7-10 favorite. His only other start was last month at Gulfstream when
he registered a length victory over Holy Bull rival Consortium.
In the December race Consortium was the 4-5 favorite and had the lead down the
stretch before giving way to Algorithms. Consortium has drawn post two for
Sunday's rematch and will be ridden by John Velazquez.
Consortium is owned by Godolphin Racing and trained by Kiaran McLaughlin.
Three weeks ago at Aqueduct, owner and trainer sent out Alpha to win the Count
Fleet Stakes.
Here is the full field for the Holy Bull in post position order: Silver Max,
Julien Leparoux; Consortium, John Velazquez; My Adonis, Elvis Trujillo;
Hansen, Ramon Dominguez; Fort Loudon, Rajiv Maragh and Algorithms, Javier
Castellano.
Post-time for the Holy Bull is 4:45 p.m. (et).
