Horse capsules by SI's Mark Beech

Aptitude (20-1)
Post postion: 2
Jockey: Alex Solis
Dark bay or brown colt
Date Foaled: March 27, 1997
Sire: A.P. Indy
Dam: Dokki
Breeder: Juddmonte Farms (Ky.)
Owner: Juddmonte Farms, Inc.
Trainer: Bobby Frankel
Record: Starts 1st 2nd 3rd
  5 1 2 1
Graded Stakes Victories: None
Last start (Finish): Wood Memorial (3rd)
The Line: Bred to go the distance. Finished a fast-closing second to Red Bullet in the Gotham Stakes on March 19, then did it again to finish third behind Fusaichi Pegasus in the Wood Memorial on April 15. He's the kind of horse that typically does well in the Triple Crown series, and is a real threat to finish in the money on Saturday. A final reason to like him: he galloped out past Fusaichi Pegasus an eighth of a mile past the wire in the Wood.
