Overview

Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott may have a horse that can give him his first on-the-track Kentucky Derby winner in the form of Resilience.

Mott, who won the Derby in 2019 in the inquiry room with Country House following the disqualification of Maximum Security, prepares Resilience for Ric Waldman and Emily Bushnell. Bushnell is the daughter of Resilience’s breeders Marty and Pam Wygod.

Resilience is the 22nd Grade 1 winner by multiple champion sire Into Mischief. His dam Meadowstreet was a two-race winner out of the multiple Grade 1-winning mare Tranquility Lake, whose progeny include the Grade 1 winners After Market and Courageous Cat and the $9.7 million yearling Jalil.

Though the family has primarily been best on turf, Resilience clearly handles dirt well. His sire generally gets speed horses but he can get Derby winners – as he has with Authentic and Mandaloun – with the right dam, and Meadowstreet’s sire Smart Strike is a proven source of stamina.
