Owned by Zayat Stables, Bodemeister blew through the Arkansas Derby to win by 9 1/2 lengths. Earlier this year he was second to Creative Cause in the San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita. The colt has lifetime earnings of $704,800. "I think its a very competitive Derby," the Hall of Fame trainer said. "You watch them all train and they all look great out there.
