Lone Star next for Plate hopeful
Mike Pegram's WANNA RUNNER, who is quickly becoming the horse to beat in the Queen's Plate even though that race is still over two months away, will start next in the May 13 Lone Star Derby in Texas.
According to a report in the Fort Worth Telegram, Wanna Runner (El Corredor) is also still being pointed to the $1 million Plate.
"He's a really good horse," Baffert told the Telegram. "He's just now coming around and figuring things out."
Wanna Runner, bred by Yvonne Schwabe, won the recent WinStar Derby at Sunland Park. And in January, in the San Rafael, he finished third behind Brother Derek, the likely Kentucky Derby favorite.
