Three Rules takes Perfect Record to Breeders' Cup

Three Rules | Lauren King

Shade Tree Thoroughbreds' Three Rules (Gone Astray), who took his record to a perfect five-for-five with a romping 10-length victory in Saturday's Florida Sire In Reality S. at Gulfstream Park, will look to take his success to the next level when he goes postward in the Nov. 5 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile.

“He's great,” trainer Jose Pinchin said Sunday morning. “He's not tired at all. He came out perfect from the race. If everything works out well, his next race will be the Breeders' Cup.”

Three Rules will be looking to emulate Awesome Feathers (Awesome of Course), who swept the Florida stallion series in 2010 before winning the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.

“It's a dream,” Pinchin admitted. “We are little guys in the game. We're not the Todd Pletchers and the Chad Browns. We're little guys in the game. It's a dream come true for us.”

Three Rules was never threatened while making his two-turn debut in the 1 1/16-mile In Reality S.

“I think this was the easiest race he's won,” Pinchon continued. “He won by 10 lengths, and it was his easiest race. Everything worked out well for him. [Velasquez] said everything was good; he won nice and easy; he said he just galloped all the way.”
