Uno Mas Bourbon SUPER in Stakes Debut

From the 2022 Bourbon Lane Stable Yearling Partnership, 3-year-old Uno Mas Bourbon made a bold statement in his first stakes appearance, winning the 42nd running of the $250,000 Super Derby at Louisiana Downs, presented by Cypress Solar and Roofing. Co-owned by Bourbon Lane Stable and Six Column Stables, the talented colt showed both patience and power as he came from off the pace to earn his first stakes victory.



After shipping in from Kentucky following a solid third-place finish in an allowance race at Ellis Park, Uno Mas Bourbon sat off the early speed, where The Donegal Clan set brisk opening fractions of :23.83 and :48.32 for the first half-mile. Biding his time, Uno Mas Bourbon was unhurried, waiting for the perfect moment to make his move.


As the field turned for home, jockey Francisco Arrieta expertly maneuvered Uno Mas Bourbon through a narrow opening between horses, unleashing an impressive burst of speed. He surged past the pacesetter, crossing the finish line 1¼ lengths ahead as the slight 3-1 favorite. The final time for the 1 1/8-mile race was 1:51.02 over a fast track.


“He’s a nice horse,” Arrieta said. “When I rode him in Kentucky, we ran into a little trouble, but he still put in a great performance. Today, he was more relaxed, and once he found another gear, he took off. He ran a fantastic race.”


Trained by Ian Wilkes, Uno Mas Bourbon is a 3-year-old colt by the recently deceased Macho Uno, out of the Harlan's Holiday mare Camielee. With a record of 2-0-3 from eight starts and earnings of $219,745, he continues to build on the success of his connections. Bred in Kentucky by T/C Stable LLC, Uno Mas Bourbon was purchased for $75,000 by Six Column Stables and McMahon and Hill Bloodstock at the 2022 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, where he was consigned by Legacy Bloodstock.


This Super Derby win showcases Bourbon Lane Stable’s commitment to building racing partnerships based on sound investment and talent. Bourbon Lane Stable’s focus on identifying quality yearlings has paid off, proving once again the value of their strategic partnerships.
