Papa Clem's solid showing led to a fourth-place finish in the Kentucky Derby at 12-1, just a nose and a head away from second.
The Arkansas Derby winner began his career in California where he broke his maiden in his third attempt, and first at Santa Anita, then finished second to Pioneerof the Nile there in the Robert Lewis, losing by a half-length but outfinishing I Want Revenge by a length.
Rafael Bejarano, who rode the colt in his Santa Anita races, followed him to New Orleans where he ran second to Friesan Fire in the Louisiana Derby, and to Oaklawn Park, where he won the Arkansas Derby by a half-length over Old Fashioned with Summer Bird third.
Papa Clem, who is by Preakness winner Curlin's sire, Smart Strike, was produced by Del Mar Debutante winner Miss Houdini. Magical Maiden, Papa Clem's second dam, was a multiple Grade 1 winner. From preakness.com.
