HALLANDALE BEACH · By the time he takes the stage this evening at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn., entertainer David Cassidy will know whether he should accept offers to perform the first weekend in May or reserve a box seat at Churchill Downs for the 131st Kentucky Derby.

High hopes
David Cassidy is co-owner of possible Kentucky Derby contender Mayan King and the 1970s teen idol already can smell the roses. "If I could win the Kentucky Derby, there would be nothing on the face of the earth, other than the birth of my son 14 years ago, to compare with the thrill and high of it," Cassidy said.

David Cassidy knows how it feels to be a young sensation, having starred in The Partridge Family in the 1970s.
While he appreciates the entertainment success, other forces drive him now.
"If I could win the Kentucky Derby," he says, "there would be nothing on the face of the earth, nothing other than the birth of my son 14 years ago, to compare to the thrill and the high of it. To say it's a dream, it's beyond that." advertisement
Cassidy, 54, is part-owner of Mayan King, a talented but raw 3-year-old who he will run in the $500,000 Lane's End Stakes, which will be broadcast at 2:30 p.m. Arizona time today on ESPN, at Turfway Park in Florence, Ky.
Mayan King first went to the gate for trainer Gary Contessa at New York's Aqueduct Park on Jan. 28, winning at 6 furlongs. He then won a 1-mile allowance at Aqueduct on Feb. 26.
He has never faced the caliber of horses, however, that he will meet in the Lane's End and is a 15-1 long shot for jockey Joe Bravo in a field of nine headed by 5-2 favorite Spanish Chestnut.
"It's a lot to ask of a horse for lack of experience," Cassidy says, "but he doesn't lack talent and heart."
Cassidy secured Mayan at a sale for 2-year-olds in training last March in Florida, paying $210,000 for the colt at auction.
"It was the only time I high-fived somebody in the sales ring," he says. "The day we bought him, I thought he was a Derby horse."
Others may feel the same if Mayan King should extend his record to 3 for 3 in the 1 1/8-mile Lane's End. The field includes Magna Graduate, who comes off a victory in the John Battaglia Memorial at Turfway, and Texcess, who won the $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot as a juvenile.

For those who haven't read it yet, Mayan King came in seventh in the Lanes End Stakes race. I have not read anywhere if this is the end of the Kentucky Derby dream for this year. If anyone hears please post.
