Trainer Ben Colebrook and owners Andrew and Rania Warren will have a little more breathing room between races when their colts Scoobie Quando and Raise Cain run in a pair of major Kentucky Derby points races in the coming weeks. Colebrook will saddle Scoobie Quando in Saturday’s Grade 3, $700,000 Jeff Ruby at Turfway Park, with Raise Cain likely to carry the same owners’ colors two weeks later in the Grade 1, $1 million Blue Grass at Keeneland. Both races offer Derby points on the 100-40-30-20-10 scale. Both Warren colts made their most recent start on March 4, with Raise Cain winning the Grade 3 Gotham at Aqueduct. Colebook saddled the colt, then watched the race, which was off at 5:01 p.m., from an Uber en route to the airport. He was at Turfway in time to saddle Scoobie Quando for the John Battaglia Memorial at 9:29 p.m., with the colt finishing second. “It’s been exciting because not a lot of owners have two good 3-year-olds at the same time,” Colebrook said. “Raise Cain was the owners’ first graded stakes winner and Scoobie was the first stakes winner. There’s a lot to look forward to.” :: Bet the races on DRF Bets! Sign up with code WINNING to get a $250 Deposit Match, $10 Free Bet, and FREE DRF Formulator. There could be a lot to look forward to, in particular, with Scoobie Quando, who is still very lightly raced with only three starts. The Uncle Mo colt is out of the graded stakes-winning turf mare Daveron, making him a half-brother to millionaire March to the Arch and Canadian champion Global Access. The colt was a $160,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase by the Warrens, who have campaigned horses in their name since 2020. Colebrook credits trainer and former veterinarian Gregory Fox for some of the success. “He’s actually how I got together with the owners,” Colebrook said. “He helps select the horses and he’s at the barn a lot.” Scoobie Quando was a sprint stakes winner in his debut, winning the Turfway Prevue on Jan. 7. He stretched out to a mile for an allowance-level event on Feb. 11, finishing second to Ruby foe Wadsworth. In the 1 1/16-mile Battaglia Memorial, the colt emerged from traffic to finish with good energy, second by 2 1/2 lengths to Congruent. A shot at the Ruby, and a potential dirt tilt in the Derby, now loom. “When I had him on the main track at Keeneland, he worked really well on it,” Colebrook said. “I still think the dirt is within his wheelhouse. But if not, we have synthetic and turf to fall back on.” :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
