Smooth Air - 2008 Kentucky Derby Contender

Smooth Air - 2008 Kentucky Derby Contender.

Trainer: Bennie Stutts Jr.
Jockey: Manoel Cruz
Owner: Mount Joy Stables, Inc.
Breeder: Mount Joy Stables, Inc.
2007 Record: 2-1-1 in 4 starts

Smooth Air will need to outrun his pedigree because he isn't bred for 1 1/4 miles. The Florida-bred colt is a very honest performer, finishing in the money in all seven career starts, and the Florida Derby (gr. I) runner-up has run well twice at a route. However, Smooth Air is from the first crop of Grade 2 winner Smooth Jazz, whose two career stakes wins both came sprinting and figures to be a speed influence at stud. Smooth Jazz is by sprinter Storm Boot, whose progeny have compiled an Average Winning Distance of only 6.3 furlongs. From kentuckyderby.com.
