3YOs 120 Lbs 11/16 (Turf)
1st: #1 Drinkin Creepin (Mb Stables/Mario Gutierrez): Broke alertly before being headed briefly. Quickly assumed control of the race. Lengthened his lead exiting the turn before drawing-off when roused to win impressively.
2nd: #5 On Fire (Mb Stables/L. Saez): Broke with the field to set a tracking trip from just off the rail. Moved to second before the turn. Continued-on through the lane to secure the place but had nothing for the winner.
3rd: #7 Solar Coast (Smokey Stover/L. Detorri): Away well but taken back early. Was unhurried down the backside. Moved to the center of the course turning for home. Mild rally to grab the show in deep stretch.
4th: #8 Expresso (Smokey Stover/A. Bocachica): Three-wide and fourth around the initial bend. Moved-out a path nearing the turn for home but was one-paced in the drive.
Drinkin Creepin has now won six consecutive races, including four stakes events. His record now stands at 8-6-0-0 with $1,019.400 in earnings. Congratulations to Drinkin Creepin and Mb Stables on their victory in the G3 Transylvania!
