Falling Sky is a Lion Heart and Sea Dragoness colt. He won the Sam F. Davis (G3) and finished third in the Tampa Bay Derby (G2). He's currently slated for the Arkansas Derby this upcoming weekend and he'll need a top 4 finish to garner enough points to run in the Kentucky Derby.
Martin Garcia will be aboard Falling Sky for the Arkansas Derby - a change from his regular jockey Jose Espinoza. Does he have enough to make it to the next level. James Covello, co-owner of the 3 year-old colt, thinks he does.
"This is incredibly exciting; I'm not sleeping well and I can't wait until Saturday," Covello said "I've had graded stakes horses before, but I've never had one with a chance to run in the Derby. This is something that all of the horse's connections are excited about and we're going to soak up every minute of it."
As usual we'll be watching the Arkansas Derby and will keep you posted!
