Derby bound Pimpernel lures Louisville horsemen's wary eye
The Pimpernel, J. D. Byers’ colt foaled at Abram S and Hewitt's Montana Hail nursery in Virginia, is viewed as a tough Derby rival if it matches the class of Phalanx, the 1946 Derby runner up also bred on the same farm. Phalanx chased Jet Pilot by a head in that classic, with Eddie Arcaro delaying his move. The Pimpernel, bought for $8600 at the 1950 yearling sale, won the Christiana Stakes and Dover Stakes, placed twice, and retired after bucked shins and a back strain following a mid July Wakefield Stakes effort.
