Combatant: The only horse to compete in all 4 stakes routes on the Oaklawn trail to the Triple Crown, this consistent colt has never missed a superfecta finish in his 7-race career. That certainly would be tested in the Kentucky Derby, where the 1-1/4 miles distance appears beyond his best trip despite being a come-from-behind runner going shorter trips. He tends to make a menacing move and flatten out late, signaling he’s likely best at a mile or 1-1/16 miles. Sire Scat Daddy also favored Justify, the ballyhooed Irish invader Mendelssohn and consistent brawler Flameaway in this year’s lineup.
Combatant, who will break from post 20 in the Kentucky Derby, worked 4 furlongs in :49.60 at Churchill Downs on April 30th, 2018 for trainer Steve Asmussen....
