Ruidoso Derby-G1
CYBER ATTACK
by Michael Compton
Cyber Attack, last year’s Champion 2-Year- Old Colt, solidified his status as a leading 3-year-old this season with an authoritative
score in the $895,633 Ruidoso Derby-G1 at Ruidoso Downs on June 10.
Ridden by Eduardo Nicasio, Cyber Attack assumed command at the break of the 400- yard test. He cleared the field and powered to the finish unchallenged, defeating second-place finisher Rock A Jess V, winner of the Texas Classic Derby-G1, by 1 1/4-lengths. Winning as clearly the best for his fifth consecutive victory, Cyber Attack stopped the timer in :19.543 and earned a speed index of 96.
Owned by Connie Rosenthal’s Rosenthal Ranch and trained by Christopher O’Dell, Cyber Attack racked up his sixth win from nine career starts, and the $376,166 winner’s share of the purse increased his lifetime bankroll to $1,534,083.
“I’m always nervous because I know it is a horse race and anything can happen,”
