Hidden Scroll, the beaten favorite after setting a wicked pace in the Fountain of Youth on Saturday at Gulfstream Park, will be considered for the Grade 1, $1 million Florida Derby on March 30 or races the following week, including the Grade 2, $750,000 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct and Grade 2, $1 million Blue Grass at Keeneland, trainer Bill Mott said Monday.

“Those are all our options,” said Mott, who said he was impressed with how well Hidden Scroll ran under the circumstances, and how well he seems to have come out of the race.

“He came out of it well,” Mott said. “He doesn’t seem to be knocked out. Acts pretty darn good. It hasn’t affected his appetite. He seems bright, looking over the stall door.”

Mott said the Florida Derby seemed to make the most sense for a next start being as Hidden Scroll had run well in both his starts to date, both at Gulfstream. But he said he’d wait a couple of weeks before deciding exactly where to go. He said he owner Juddmonte Farms was leaving the decision over a next start up to him.

Hidden Scroll was making only his second start in the Fountain of Youth, but was favored following a dazzling debut win five weeks earlier against maidens. On Saturday, he was sent along by jockey Joel Rosario to out-sprint the 132-1 shot Gladiator King for the early lead through fractions of 22.80 seconds for the opening quarter and 45.69 seconds for a half before tiring to finish fourth, beaten three lengths by the victorious Code of Honor.

Mott said the jockey for his next race was “undecided.”
