Rich Strike Racing News
A rallying finish for third in the Jeff Ruby Steaks (G3) put Rich Strike on the brink of qualification for the 2022 Kentucky Derby. It was his third run in the Road to the Kentucky Derby series and his best to date. He is by 2016 Travers S. (G1) winner Keen Ice out of Gold Strike, a Canadian Grade 3 winner who was third in the 2005 Queen’s Plate. His efforts to date and his pedigree suggest he should stay 1 1/4 miles, but whether he has the class at the very top level is questionable.
