Courtlandt Farms’ Sonneman Looks Promising For Kentucky Derby

Courtlandt Farms’ Sonneman made it two wins in a row Saturday as he came from dead last in a field of eight to win a seven-furlong Allowance Optional Claiming race at Gulfstream Park.

A dark bay or brown colt by Curlin out of Zardanna by Crimson Tide (IRE), Sonneman was profiled by Classic Champion Thoroughbreds, LLC when he was a yearling the 2018 Keeneland September Yearling Sale and he has an A+ Classic Champion Thoroughbred Profile®.

Unlike other companies that provide automatic computer-generated pedigree analysis of yearlings at auction, Classic Champion Thoroughbreds, LLC personally handpicks from the sales catalog all yearlings to be profiled at auction based upon their breeding.

And with the Kentucky Derby postponed until September 5, Sonneman looks like a good candidate to perhaps qualify in new Derby prep races soon to be announced by Churchill Downs.

Currently, there are four horses on the Top Twenty Kentucky Derby Leaderboard that were profiled by Classic Champion Thoroughbreds, LLC at auction: Wells Bayou (Hip 3281), Nadal (Hip 1279), Enforceable (Hip 76) and Excession (Hip 855).

In addition, there are four other horses that have run in Derby prep races but they are looking to make into the top twenty: Azul Coast (Hip 1177), Max Player (Hip 929), Invader (Hip 371) and Scabbard (Hip 802).  

Also, Charlatan was profiled at auction by Classic Champion Thoroughbreds, LLC and, in the Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 4, he was the 5-1 second co-choice along with Tiz the Law behind the 3-1 Mutuel Field (All others).

Altogether, there are 43 horses profiled by Classic Champion Thoroughbreds at auction that are nominated for the 2020 Triple Crown. Here’s the list:
