Horse Racing Capsules: Barbaro's brother entered in Florida Derby

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. — Barbaro's brother Lentenor has been entered to run in the Florida Derby, a prep race for the Kentucky Derby.

Lentenor is the co-third choice at 6-1 in a field of 11 3-year-olds entered Wednesday for Saturday's $750,000 race at Gulfstream Park.

Rule was made the 5-2 favorite and brings a four-race winning streak into the Florida Derby. The colt is trained by Todd Pletcher.

Also in the field is Soaring Empire, owned in part by Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino.

Barbaro won the 2006 Florida Derby before his victory in the Kentucky Derby. Barbaro broke down in the Preakness and was euthanized eight months later.

Fountain of Youth winner Eskendereya is skipping the race for next month's Wood Memorial.

Big Zeb wins Queen Mother Chase

CHELTENHAM, England — Big Zeb overtook Forpadydeplasterer to win the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival on Wednesday, spoiling Master Minded's bid to win the race for the third straight year.

Ridden by Barry Geraghty, Big Zeb pulled away to win the race by six lengths in one of the surprises of the meet. Master Minded was the 4-5 favorite but finished fourth.

Forpadydeplasterer set a strong pace from the beginning of the two mile under jockey Tony McCoy. Kalahari King rallied to beat Master Minded for third.

Master Minded jockey Ruby Walsh said the ground was too quick for his horse in the $480,000 feature on the second day of the top meet of the jump season.
