Purse $100.000
Three Year Olds

1st Socotra Island, trained by Nynl Stables

A big win right here from this runner as he just ran a huge race in here and got away at the end of the race by half of a length. He was about midpack early on and then moved up to right off the lead in the turn and blew by them all late. He ran the race in 1:21.61 and earned $60.000 for the win.

2nd Made Out Of Glass, trained by Mb Stables

A big run from this horse also as he closed from next to last to get up and run second and he only got beat by half of a length. He closed very strongly down the lane and if it was a little further race he may have gotten up for the win. He ran a very good second.

3rd Milford Sound, trained by Tiratzo

Also a high run by this horse right here for a good third place finish. He sat right off of the lead early on and then hit the lead around the turn. He made the lead way to early but he still kept battling down the lane to at least hold on to third. A pretty nice run from him for sure.

4th Niko Niko, trained by Wolfs Den

And rounding out the superfecta was this runner right here as he closed from dead to last to get up for fourth. He was last early on and made a big run down the lane and closed to only get beat by a length when it was all said and done. He ran a pretty good race.

Summary

Well my top pick Socotra Island got the big win in this spot with a very good run for the win. He showed he is a very classy horse and that he is a major player in the three year old sprint division. Congratulations to Socotra Island and Nynl Stables on the win.
