00:00Fountain of Youth runner-up In Due Time will need to get the win in this weekend's Stone

00:07Street Lexington Stakes in order to have a shot at the Kentucky Derby.

00:11We spoke with his connections, trainer Kelly Breen, and his partnership, Edge Racing.

00:17We purchased In Due Time at the OBS April sale and Nick Hines and I, who run and manage

00:23Edge Racing, found him and obviously he was just an athlete to us and we got him at an

00:27affordable price and that was the biggest thing for us.

00:32We believed when we were starting him off as a two-year-old that he had the ability

00:36to be a really nice horse after he won his first race.

00:40We did decide to give him some time off.

00:43He ran well in his second start back.

00:45He won stretching out in distance, pointed him towards the derby trail.

00:50In his last race, he runs second in the Fountain of Youth and was the first time where I saw

00:56him was a little tired.

00:58He did bounce back and within 48 hours that he was back to normal.

01:03So the time in between races, I know if we were to run well in the Lexington, it's only

01:08three races or three weeks until the derby, but that extended time that he had in between

01:13his last race and this race, I think is just going to help him perform better.

01:17Edge Racing, it's a spinoff in the syndicate off of MyRaceHorse.com and it's just more

01:22of your traditional syndicate.

01:24Some of the owners that were ready to take the next step that came from MyRaceHorse.com

01:28and take a little bigger piece of ownership and go on this journey.

01:32After the allowance race, Medallion Racing, which is a partnership of TaylorMade and Parkland

01:37Stables joined us on this journey and we're excited.

01:40Anytime we get to compete in these big races and fingers crossed, a win could get us in

01:44the derby.

01:45There's nothing more fun than that and to celebrate it with more people is even better.

01:50So he breezed over the Keeneland track on a track labeled Muddy, wasn't the fastest

01:55of workouts, it was just the maintenance and since he's been here, he's been doing well.

02:00We drew the two posts out of 11, ideally like to see him forwardly placed because he is

02:05a kind of horse that if we ask him for speed, I think that we'll have the speed.

02:09So now we're going back to if we will make it to the derby or not determines on this

02:15race coming up, but he's a nice horse.

02:18Regardless if we make it to the derby or not, I believe that he's a nice horse and

02:23there's a long three-year-old campaign, like to have some fun with him and run in some

02:27nice races.

02:28I want to say we have almost 25 people bringing family, friends from all over.

02:33That's the best part.

02:34We have people from California, Florida, New York, Chicago, so it is really cool to see

02:38all these people and on a day like this, all due to one horse come and meet up.

02:43As Kelly has always kind of told us and Paco has ridden him, said he's going to just get

02:47better with more distance and time.

02:50You know, we didn't start till November of 2020, but this is really our first journey

02:54on the derby trail.

02:55So it's sure exciting in a short period of time to be able to do it.

02:59The derby is the derby.

03:00Everybody talks about it.

03:02It's the race of races.

03:03It's been a couple of years since I've been back.

03:05My kids never asked about races before and they're like, are we going to the derby this

03:09year?

03:10So you do have the excitement.

03:11There's nothing here in Kentucky like the Kentucky Derby.

03:17The Kentucky Derby.

03:18The Kentucky Derby.
