Horse capsules by SI's Mark Beech

Trippi (5-1)
Post postion: 6
Jockey: Jorge Chavez
Bay colt
Date Foaled: March 16, 1997
Sire: End Sweep
Dam: Jealous Appeal
Breeder: Harry T. Mangurian Jr. (Fla.)
Owner: Dogwood Stable
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Record: Starts 1st 2nd 3rd
  4 4 0 0
Graded Stakes Victories: Flamingo Stakes (Grade III); Swale Stakes (Grade III)
Last start (Finish): Flamingo Stakes (1st)
The Line: The Derby might be too much too soon for this talented colt, who never started as a two-year-old. He's a speed horse, which means he probably won't be charging to the lead down the stretch. Even his connections aren't sure he wants to go a mile and a quarter. A good bet for a shorter race on another day.
