On Saturday morning, trainer Ben Colebrook thought he had a good chance to visit the Keeneland winner’s circle with one of his three starters for the day. The premonition proved correct, as Midway Racing’s Trendsetter delivered in the $400,000 Stonestreet Lexington (G3) for 3-year-olds.

Was that the horse Colebrook thought would win?

“No. I thought I’d win the second (race with Beale Street Boy, who ran second beaten a nose,” Colebrook said with a laugh.

Trendsetter got the job done in his graded stakes debut.

“It was his first time going two turns on the dirt,” Colebrook said. “I thought he could get a piece of it.”

Colebrook said Trendsetter came out of his 2¼-length victory in good order with plans to be determined.

“No Kentucky Derby. No Preakness. We didn’t even nominate him,” Colebrook said. “There are plenty of other races out there.”

Just because Trendsetter won’t be at Churchill Downs in three weeks does not mean Colebrook will be absent. He has Central Bank Ashland (G1) winner Percy’s Bar for the $1.5 million Kentucky Oaks (G1) on May 1 and Street Beast for the $1 million American Turf (G1) on May 2.

Street Beast also races for Midway Racing.

Colebrook said Percy’s Bar, owned by Hat Creek Racing, would work toward the end of the week with weather being a factor on which day.
