BORREGO will probably get bet down off his 20-1 morning line as the buzz about this son of El Prado continues to build. Seems to improve with each race and he should take another step forward off that career best speed figure in the Arkansas Derby. Should get plenty of stamina from his pedigree and he's one of the few who really looks like a distance horse in this year's crop. Trainer Beau Greely is just getting started but has already had a number of nice horses and a Derby win would be extra sweet for the Kentucky native. His charge has a versatile running style that will allow jockey Victor Espinoza to place him in mid pack after a quick look at how the race is setting up. This colt seems to be coming to hand at the right time and he should get a big piece of the Derby purse with his best race. Thinking he will run second, third or fourth in Derby and that makes him very useful in exotic wagering. |

Borrego is by champion El Prado (Ire), a sire of 7 crops and 30 stakes winners including millionaire Nite Dreamer, multiple stakes winner The Happy Hopper, the veteran stakes-winning sprinter Chindi and the crack turf sprinter/miler El Cielo. Additionally, El Prado (Ire) is a son of legendary European sire-of-sires Sadler's Wells, who is by Northern Dancer, winner of the 1964 Kentucky Derby (GI) and a prominent influence in the bloodlines of past Derby winners. Borrego is the third foal out of Sweet As Honey; he is the second to race, the other being a maiden winner. Sweet As Honey herself raced three times without winning a race. She does, however, come from a strong family, being a half sister to four stakes horses. Chief among them are Truth Of It All, who won the Grey Stakes (GIII) at Woodbine at age two and a third in the Lexington Stakes (GII) at Keeneland at age three; and I Ain't Bluffing, a filly who won eight of thirteen races, including the La Brea (GI), the Milady Breeders' Cup (GI), and the Hawthorne Handicap (GII).
