Kentucky West Racing and Clarke M. Cooper's Classic Causeway continues to gallop after pulling off a huge upset at odds of 26-1 in the Grade 1 Caesars Belmont Derby at Belmont Park July 9. The 3-year-old son of Giant's Causeway will look to continue his Caesars Turf Triple success in the Grade 1, $1 million Caesars Saratoga Derby Invitational on August 6.
“He's doing super. We just have him galloping for now,” trainer Ken McPeek said.
Classic Causeway took the field of 12 wire-to-wire to capture Grade 1 glory and is now 2-1-0-1 since being transferred to McPeek's barn following an 11th-place finish in the G1 Kentucky Derby. He finished third in the G3 Ohio Derby at Thistledown just two weeks before his Belmont Derby score.
Magdalena Racing's Tiz the Bomb, who finished ninth behind Classic Causway in the Belmont Derby, could make his next outing in either the Saratoga Derby or the G2 National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame on August 5.
Tiz the Bomb has proven to be a competitive horse on turf. As a 2-year-old, he finished second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf where he made a terrific stretch run but could not pass the Godolphin-owned and Charlie Appleby-trained Modern Games.
