COUNT ON APTITUDE TO PRODUCE NICE ROUTERS
Aptitude, who finished second to Fusaichi Pegasus in the 2000
Kentucky Derby, is a reliable sire of runners at one mile and
beyond. His first crop yielded Steppenwolfer, who was third
in the 2006 Derby behind Barbaro and Bluegrass Cat. On
December 6, Rosie's Attitude, a 2-year-old filly from Aptitude's
second crop, scored a 2 1/2 length win in a one-mile maiden race
after rallying from sixth in a nine-filly field. Rosie's
Attitude is out of the Quite American mare Irving's Baby and she
should enjoy stretching out to middle distances on all surfaces at
3.
