The feature event on America’s 250th birthday, the $750,000 Belmont Derby (G1) at Saratoga racetrack was captured by the slimmest of margins by the English invader, TITLE ROLE.

The bay sophomore becomes the sixth Grade/Group One winner for the successful Dubawi stallion, Too Darn Hot, Europe’s 2018 2 YO Cartier champion.

Earlier this year, Title Role traveled to the United Arab Emirates and Germany where he annexed each nation’s version of the Two Thousand Guineas.

Title Role is the latest top class example of inbreeding to the influential French mare Delsy (within Rasmussen Factor criteria). As demonstrated by our subject’s five generation x-ray pedigree, she is the third dam of Title Role’s sire Too Darn Hot and she is the dam of Darshaan, the grandsire of Title Role’s second dam generating 4X5 inbreeding to Delsy.
