Lines of Battle is a War Front and Black Speck colt. He won the UAE Derby (G2) on March 30th which catapulted him into the top of the points leaderboard for Kentucky Derby contenders. He will return to the U.S. for the Run for the Roses and his connections hope it will result in a better finish than his last trip to the U.S. - a 7th place in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1).

He's not on the short list right now because we have reservations about how he'll perform in a field of 20 on U.S. soil.
