Justify: The Evolution Of A Champion
Scat Daddy Colt Went From Maiden to Dual Classic Winner in Three Months
By Jim Safford
Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner Justify’s evolution from an unraced 3-year-old to dual classic winner has been nothing short of remarkable. Following is a photo collage of his evolution from before his first start through his last pre-Kentucky Derby work at Santa Anita Park, in chronological order.
