Desperation looking for a big hit at SA and the Green Card was handing it to you on a silver platter… Maxmillion Farm sets the tote ablaze as Run For Fun noses out Sannys Legacy for the victory in Sunday’s Frankel Stakes (GIII). The final running time was 1:46.05 for the mile and an eighth and the SoCal lawn was listed as Firm. The Card saw third time lasix and a bullet work at DMR as keys to their choices and the self proclaimed “King of Turf” notches his two-hundred and seventy-second graded win… Congrats!! As for the 4yo gray filly, she gets her first win of the season, and does so on a very big stage.
Sannys Legacy closed a late gap and battled to the finish, but the photo wasn’t on her side today, as Threshold takes home the second place money. It was another length to Queen Kingdom, and One Spirit took home the minor share of the $100.000 purse. Two lengths covered the field of five.
