Bio
Suddenbreakingnews burst onto the Triple Crown trail with a win in the Feb. 15 Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park, rallying from last to first to score by 2 3/4 lengths.
The gelding began his career more inauspiciously, finishing first in a maiden race at Remington Park in August of his 2-year-old season before being disqualified to second place. Suddenbreakingnews won two of his next three starts including the Clevor Trevor Stakes and finished up his season with a runner-up effort in the Remington Springboard Mile Stakes.

Suddenbreakingnews won two of his next three starts including the Clevor Trevor Stakes and finished up his season with a runner-up effort in the Remington Springboard Mile Stakes.
The Southwest Stakes marked the first time the gelding raced outside of Oklahoma, and he was sent off as the co-fourth choice in the field of 14.
After the Southwest, Suddenbreakingnews finished a disappointing fifth in the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes, but he bounced back nicely to finish second in the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby and cement his spot in the Kentucky Derby on May 7. In the Kentucky Derby, Suddenbreakingnews finished fifth.
Suddenbreakingnews is a son of 2003 Horse of the Year Mineshaft out of the Afleet Alex mare Uchitel.
