Horse capsules by SI's Mark Beech

Hugh Hefner
Dark bay or brown colt
Jockey: Victor Espinoza
Post position: 1
Date Foaled: March 2, 1997
Sire: Bertrando
Dam: Personal Victory
Breeder: Edward Nahem (Calif.)
Owner: King Edward Racing, Inc.
Trainer: Martin F. Jones
Record: Starts 1st 2nd 3rd
  6 2 2 0
Graded Stakes Victories: None
Last start (Finish): Snow Chief Stakes (2nd)
The Line: Ladies and gentleman, your longshot. Based on his record, Hef is probably going to be the one to set the pace in this race. Not a bad horse, though he doesn’t quite seem to be up to the level of his competition here. In his favor, he hasn’t raced since April 30, so it’s not inconceivable that he could pass a few tired foes in the stretch.
