Back in 2005, trainer Nick Zito was pretty determined to record his first victory in the Florida Derby, having previously missed the target with two colts–Strike The Gold and Go For Gin–which were to win the Kentucky Derby. This time he was double handed, with the Fountain of Youth winner High Fly and the promising Noble Causeway. The latter had already given every indication that he was going to prove worthy of his seven-figure yearling price.
