Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer saddles GIII Lazaro Barrera S. hero KENTUCKIAN (Tiznow) in this turf bow coming off over a year layoff for Fox Hill Farms. Tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star' after an 11-length demolition of a Golden Gate maiden race in March of 2015, the grey was forced to steady hard in Santa Anita's San Pedro S. when third a month later, prior to his Barrera romp that May. Only third in the 2015 GII Los Alamitos Derby on Independence Day to the star-crossed Gimme Da Lute (Midnight Lute) in his first try routing at Los Alamitos, the son of MGSW & MGISP Forest Music (Unbridled's Song) and half-brother to young sire Maclean's Music (Distorted Humor) posted a five-panel turf drill in 1:02 4/5 (2/5) in preparation at Del Mar July 12.
