Summer Is Tomorrow persuaded his owners to make a late Triple Crown entry when he made a bold attempt to lead all the way at 25-1 in the UAE Derby, being run down only by Crown Pride. Trained by Bhupat Seemar in Dubai, Summer Is Tomorrow was a $25,000 weanling sale at Keeneland prior to being sold at the Arqana Deauville Breeze-Up sale for 139,200 euros ($169,743). He is by the graded stakes-winning turf miler Summer Front, a son of War Front, out of Always Tomorrow, a sister to the 1 3/8-mile United Nations S. (G1) winner Bigger Picture and a half-sister to Blue Grass (G1) third Gung Ho. It’s mostly a turf pedigree which raises some stamina questions, but he did stay 1 3/16 miles at Meydan strongly.
