Notes:
With the
G1 Blue
Grass S.
now in the
bag, Ken
McPeek's
versatile
trainee is
a stakes
winner on
synthetic
and turf
and graded
stakes-pla
ced on
dirt from
his solid
2 nd
behind
Verrazano
in the G2
Tampa Bay
Derby. His
Blue Grass
victory on
4/13 at
Keeneland
was easily
the most
impressive
of his
career, as
the bay
overcame a
terrible
start,
lagged
well
behind,
then
circled
the field
to blow by
12 of his
rivals and
nail
leader
Palace
Malice for
a neck
score. The
bay
stopped
the clock
in 1:50.27
and earned
an 89
Beyer
Speed
Figure.
Already
among the
top 20 in
the new
Kentucky
Derby
points
qualifying
system, he
picked up
100 more
for a
total of
122 and 4
th -place
ranking on
the
current
list of
those
eligible
to run for
the roses.
With
Julien
Leparoux
aboard for
the 1 st
time, the
Blue Grass
continued
a
tradition
of slow
starts by
Java's
War,
including
poor
beginnings
in the
Tampa
stakes,
the G2
Jockey
Club at
Churchill
Downs last
fall when
he checked
in 6 th ,
and his
victory in
the grassy
Sunday
Silence S.
at
Louisiana
Downs in
September.
He now
owns a
career
record of
7-3-1-1
and a
bankroll
of
$672,091.
The colt
is a
homebred
campaignin
g for
breeder/ow
ner
Charles
Fipke. He
became the
1 st
winner for
his sire,
the late
champion
War Pass,
when he
won a 1m
maiden
grass race
at Ellis
Park last
July.
Java's
War's dam
is Java
(GB), a
winner who
was most
effective
at routes
on the
grass. He
was foaled
on May 4,
2010,
making
this
year's
Kentucky
Derby Day
his actual
birthday.
Java's War
will ship
from
Keeneland
into one
of
McPeek's
barns at
Churchill
Downs
later in
the week,
most
likely on
4/18.
