Last January, long before Barbaro won the derby, trainer Michael Matz was asked if he knew where the name Barbaro came from, he called to his assistant, Peter Brette. “Hey, Peter, what does the name Barbaro mean?” he asked. Brette didn’t hesitate with his answer: “Kentucky Derby winner.”
This year the question is how do you pronounce Ravel? Is it ravel, the opposite of unravel, or ruh-VELL, like the composer? We will make it easy on everyone and just pronounce it "Kentucky Derby Winner".
Demi O'Byrne answered the question though for us. Ravel, that's his name," bloodstock agent Demi O'Byrne confirmed Saturday at Santa Anita, saying it like the composer instead of the opposite of unravel. "We'll have to have a talk with Mr. (Trevor) Denman (the track announcer)."
Ravel is the son of Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus. His broodmare sire is AP Indy. A $950K KEESEPT'05 purchase, he is owned by Michael Tabor & Derrick Smith, and trained by Todd Pletcher.
He is currently 2 for 3 with a win in yesterday's 9f Sham Stakes. He now holds the faster beyer in a route by any 3yr old this year.
What makes this horse scary is that he has only been on the track 3x. His first effort on the dirt was yesterday, and it looks like he is going to be tough to beat on any surface.
Look for him to be one of the top 3 choices in next week's Pool 1 Kentucky Derby futures.

Why don't you shove your lightsaber up your faggot ass so the gerbils can find their way out. You are a MORON. You think you know so much about horses, why don't you and your fudgepacking friend gopoppafooze just infect each other with aids and die.
Have a nice day!
Dont bother with this guy. He's complete dumbass. I absolutely love it how a horse can go from nowhere to #1. That makes no sense. Ravel just jumped multiple Grade 1 winners because ObiWan doesnt have a clue. I'm still curious as to where Go Poppa Fooze is?
moron
