Silver Prospector made his graded stakes debut in the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, a points race on the road to the 2020 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, and outfinished heavily favored Tiz the Law to prevail. He finished a disappointing fourth in his 3-year-old bow in the Smarty Jones Stakes at Oaklawn Park but rebounded to win the $750,000 Southwest Stakes and earn 10 more Derby points on Feb. 17.
The gray or roan colt made his next start in the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes back at Oaklawn, where he was sent off as the 4.20-1 second betting choice behind favored Nadal. He sat off of the pace in his usual running style but had no kick in the stretch and finished a disappointing sixth of eight.
Multiple stakes-placed winner Tap Softly, by Tapit, is the dam (mother) of Silver Prospector. Grade 2 winner Silentlea, by Cherokee Run, is Silver Prospector’s grandam (maternal grandmother).
