2008 Kentucky Derby Coverage

Big Truck - 2008 Kentucky Derby Contender

Big Truck - 2008 Kentucky Derby Contender.

Trainer: Barclay Tagg
Jockey: Javier Castellano
Owner: Eric Fein
Breeder: A. Lakin & Sons
2007 Record: 2-0-1 in 4 starts

Big Truck is from the first crop of Grade 2-winning sprinter Hook and Ladder, whose maximum trip was seven furlongs. Considering the world of stamina that Big Truck inherits from his dam, however, he should not be judged by his sire's distance limitations. Hook and Ladder flashed brilliant speed at times, especially in the 2001 Gulfstream Park Sprint Championship Handicap (gr. II), where he set blistering fractions before holding on by a half-length. After placing in the Carter Handicap (gr. I) and Forest Hills Handicap (gr. II) that season, he went on to capture the Mr. Prospector Handicap (gr. III) in 2002. From kentuckyderby.com.
