Titletown Five, a highly-regarded three-year-old colt that won a maiden race at Churchill Downs last October by nine lengths, will make his first start since then on Saturday in the $60,000 Gazebo Stakes at Oaklawn Park.
Trained by D. Wayne Lukas, Titletown Five has competed against some very good horses during his brief four-race career, including CashCall Futurity (gr. I) winner Violence and Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II) winner Orb. A son of Tiznow out of the Forest Wildcat mare D' Wildcat Speed, Titletown Five suffered an ankle chip shortly after his maiden victory and had to take some time off, but the colt has been training sharply since the beginning of February, and breezed a half-mile in a bullet :48 flat on February 26th.
Lined up to face Titletown Five are six other lightly-raced colts, led by the unbeaten three-time stakes winner Get Happy Mister, Big Drama Stakes winner King Henny, promising allowance winner Malibu High, and Smarty Jones Stakes fourth-place finisher Stormy Holiday.
