Stretching out and moving to the lawn second out, the son of Palace Malice led from gate-to-wire in posting a 7 1/2-length win. The chestnut colt came home third in an allowance test at Keeneland, prior to capping his solid two-year-old season with an allowance tally at Turfway. He was runner-up in the John Battaglia Memori
