Mr. Hot Stuff is a horse in the Kentucky Derby lineup that many are writing off a little too early considering the pedigree.
This horse is a long shot on the Kentucky Derby odds which have him listed upwards of 25/1 at most places but there are few horses in this year’s Kentucky Derby lineup that have the same pedigree for this distance as Mr. Hot Stuff.
Named after a member of the owner’s family that went skiing in a flamboyant ski suit, topped with a pink ski hat that read “Hot Stuff”, this horse is tailor-made for the 1 ¼ mile track that Churchill Downs boasts and that could be enough for some surprises amongst the top finishers.
His sire, Tiznow, won $6.4 million dollars and almost all of the big wins came at this exact distance. Well Armed is another horse that came from Tiznow and that horse took down a massive purse with a dominant 14-length victory in the Dubai Classic not long ago.
Mr. Hot Stuff’s dam, Sweet Damsel, is also built for these longer races and has produced multiple winners over the past few years.

This horse was not far behind one of the Kentucky Derby favorites in the Santa Anita Derby as Pioneer of the Nile did not blow away Mr. Hot Stuff despite capturing the title with our 25/1 underdog finishing a fairly close 3rd.
