Pedigree

Mr. Hot Stuff boasts a strong pedigree for 1 1/4 miles. His sire, $6.4 million earner and 2009 Hall of Fame inductee Tiznow, scored all of his most notable victories at that classic distance. A late-developing sort who did not break his maiden until late May as a sophomore, Tiznow went on to become champion three-year-old and Horse of the Year in 2000. He set a new track record of 1:59 4/5 when romping in the 1 1/4-mile Super Derby (G1) at Louisiana Downs, and later that fall, he captured the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) at Churchill Downs.

Starter Analysis

A full brother to dual Grade 1 hero Colonel John, Mr. Hot Stuff has improved steadily throughout the year and could be rounding into his best race with the added ground. The late-running Eoin Harty trainee has been solely a synthetic performer to date, and the WinStar homebred was third in the Santa Anita Derby (G1) and Sham S. (G3) in his last two.
