Wire to wire is the method as both The Green Card and I had the winner on top… High Voltage sends Kidding to the front, and he never looks back, controlling the pace and taking the win in Saturday’s The Smith (GII) by a length. The grey gelding stopped the clock at 2:11.08, a new track record for the mile and three-eighths distance, over the AQU inner turf (Mellon course). Winning Link Stables’ Great Vault closed well to take the second spot, two lengths better than Night Rider Stables’ Animal House in third. It was another neck to Threshold’s Kegger in fourth, and eight lengths covered the field of six.
