NEW YORK — Captain Cook won the $250,000 Withers by 2 1/4 lengths at Aqueduct to join the Kentucky Derby trail. Ridden by Manny Franco, Captain Cook ran nine furlongs in 1:51.83. The colt trained by Rick Dutrow earned 20 Derby qualifying points for the May 3 race at Churchill Downs. Surfside Moon, a 33-1 shot, was second and Omaha Omaha was third. Dutrow says Captain Cook potentially will be pointed toward the Wood Memorial on April 5.
