$100,000

For Three-Year-Olds

One and One-Sixteenth Miles - Turf Course

(Haskell Course)

Monday, May 30, 2005 Race 10

Main Track: Fast    Turf: Good

Finish Wire:

The field was off in good order except for Retribution who checked at the break. It didn’t really much matter as the field let Touched By Madness go to the front and he got loose on the front-end setting moderate fractions of 23.90, 47.42 and 1:12.33.  A host of entrants took turns trying to real in the leader but at no time was the second place runner ever within two lengths of Touched By Madness as he went wire to wire to win The Jersey Derby by two and one-half lengths at the wire covering the one mile and one-sixteenth distance in a final time of 1:43.54.  Spring House closed stoutly to nose out Hole In The Head for second as the later ran third.  Touched By Madness is a three-year-old bay gelding owned by Gilbert G. Campbell, trained by Edward T. Allard and was ridden by Frank Pennington.

Touched By Madness, with Frankie Pennington in the irons, wins The Jersey Derby.
