Horse capsules by SI's Mark Beech

Captain Steve (8-1)
Chestnut colt
Post postion: 7
Jockey: Robby Albarado
Date Foaled: March 1, 1997
Sire: Fly So Free
Dam: Sparkling Delite
Breeder: Roger Lauback (Ky.)
Owner: Mike Pegram
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Record: Starts 1st 2nd 3rd
  11 4 0 5
Graded Stakes Victories: Hollywood Futurity (Grade I); Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (Grade II); Lane's End Breeders' Futurity (Grade II)
Last start (Finish): Santa Anita Derby (3rd)
The Line: On the down side, all of those graded stakes wins came in 1999, and he hasn't won a race since December. He does, however, love to run at Churchill and he has been training well there for almost a month. He's also been competitive this year against some strong competition, finishing third in both the Louisiana and Santa Anita derbies. If anybody can get him to move forward in Kentucky, it's Baffert. A legitimate contender.
