Speak Easy being led to the post in the Florida Derby.
Things were looking extremely good for the Grade Three colt, Speak Easy, until the Florida Derby. The black colt had just come off of a very brilliant first place in the Santa Anita Derby, where he managed to edge out Witch Creek's Sun King, and Nature Blue's Noadiance. His performance was a surefire to keep him in the top two for the Florida Derby the week after. Unfortunately, the judges did not agree with Carter's predictions. Sonny dropped to last place early on in the race, where Baciami, Fleet Street, and Casualty Of War beat out the colt.
"Maybe he was just tired, or not feeling it today, but something was certainly off." Trainer Carter Leeson stated, but this will not be the last of Speak Easy on the road to the Triple Crown.
"All I can say is that he's a horse that bounces back fast, and with the next week off he will be returning to the track in the Kentucky Derby in two weeks. You can guarantee that he will be out for revenge."
Firestone would like to extend their congratulations to all connections involved with Baciami's win in the Florida Derby, and good luck in the upcoming Triple Crown races.
