Jockey: Luis Saez Post Position: 19 out of 20 Morning-Line Odds: 12-1 Race RecordProbably worth noting that in a field with Equibase speed figures over 110, Brody's Cause's highest speed tracked is 99, even after his drive in the Blue Grass. Similar to Creator, one thing that stands out to me about Brody's Cause's run in the Blue Grass is the fact that while he was able to close somewhat impressively, he did need a good deal of urging and the horses close behind him seem to have been accelerating rapidly. In one of the most outside post positions, however, I think he might have more luck than Creator as a closer. But his low speed factor makes me think twice about betting on him. PedigreeGiants Causeway x Sweet Breanna, by Sahm. Giants Causeway is the heralded son of Storm Cat, the great sire who combined the lines of Secretariat and Northern Dancer. Giants Causeway's dam, Mariah's Storm, is out of Rahy, a son of Blushing Groom. Sweet Breanna's pedigree is relatively unassuming. Her sire, Sahm is best known by his own pedigree, as the son of Mr. Prospector and Salsabil, the first filly to win the Irish Derby in 90 years. This pedigree is decent, but I do prefer to see sires like Storm Cat on the dam's side as opposed to the sire's. ConformationAlthough he's a yearling in this picture, he's mostly developed enough for me to notice his legs... Chiefly that he's pretty over at the knee in that left front leg. He has a nice neck though- good length and musculature. His hindquarter to should ratio is good. Pasterns are medium-to-long and slopey.
