TRIPLE CROWN REPORT Presented by:
CYBER ATTACK CLOCKS FASTEST TIME IN TRIALS FOR THE $900,000 RUIDOSO DERBY AT RUIDOSO DOWNS
Cyber Attack, a three-year-old colt, took the lead from the start and held off a late charging Ivory Senator to win the 7 th trial race at Ruidoso Downs today while recording the fastest time of the day and qualifying for the $900,000 (est) Ruidoso Derby to be run June 10.
“I was a little worried about my horse in the gate because of the way he was acting in training, but he went inside very nicely and popped right out,” jockey Eduardo Nicasio said in the winner’s circle. “Toward the end of the race I thought he was a little tired because it was his first time out in five months—but he is such a special horse. We were just trying to qualify today.”
Cyber Attack, the 2022 AQHA Champion two-year-old, has five wins in eight lifetime starts with nearly $1.2 million in earnings. Owned by Rosenthal Ranch and trained by Chris O’Dell, Cyber Attack is sired by Favorite Cartel out of the mare Remember Me Rose by Corona Cartel. The colt’s winning time was 19.599 seconds for 400-yards.
Cyber Attack went off at 80-cents on the dollar and paid $3.60, $2.60 and $2.10. Ivory Senator and jockey Juan Pulido finished second in a time of 19.611 seconds.
