Hofburg Hits the Track at Churchill

Hofburg, runner-up in the Florida Derby (Grade I) at Gulfstream Park on March 31, made his first visit to the track at Churchill Downs on Wednesday morning as he began his preparations for the Kentucky Derby (Grade 1) that will be run on May 5.

Hofburg arrived at Churchill Downs in Louisville on Tuesday, following a van ride from Payson Park in Indiantown, Fla.,

On Wednesday he galloped 1 ¼ miles over a “good’ track under exercise rider Trainer Bill Mott has planned Sunday as the day for Hofburg's final pre-Derby

Irad Ortiz Jr. , who rode Hofburg in the Florida Derby, has the mount in the Kentucky Derby.

Hofburg, a son of Tapit, has won one of three career starts.

In the 1 1/8 mile Florida Derby, Hofburg rallied from eighth place after a half mile and finished six lengths behind Audible.

Todd Pletcher trains Audible,who likely will be one of the favorites in the 1 1/4 mile Kentucky Derby.

GP Rainbow 6 Carrryover Grows to $572,287

The carryover on the Rainbow 6 at Gulfstream Park will be $572,287 when racing resumes on Thursday.

That will follow a Sunday on which there were 24 winning tickets in the Rainbow 6, and each
paid $4,833.22 on the 20-cent only bet.

As we reported earlier, there were 130 live tickets but none with any horses singled going
into the 11th and final race.

Bonus Card (6) won the 11th race at 9-2 odds, and knocked 106 tickets out of the
Rainbow 6 on which there are no consolation payoffs.

The program numbers for the winning horses in the Rainbow 6 races were 3-5-2-1-6-6.

Because there were multiple wining tickets, the Rainbow 6 carryover continues for
a 13th day--and into Thursday when Gulfstream resumes racing.

Gulfstream will have nine races with first post at 1:10 p.m.
The Rainbow 6 will be on races four to nine, with the sequence scheduled to start at 2:54 p.m.
