Pedigree
Miner's Escape is the son of Mineshaft, the Horse of the Year in 2003 as a four year old. Mineshaft was sired by the great A.P. Indy, the 1992 Belmont winner and Horse of the Year. A.P. Indy in turn was sired by Seattle Slew, the 1977 Triple Crown winner. Miner's Escape's dam was sired by Broad Brush. That horse, who died the day before the Preakness this year, was third in the both the Derby and the Preakness in 1986. Miner's Escape might not have shown much on the track yet, but he sure is bred to run.
