Somelikeithotbrown Vindicated In Second Run At Dinner Party Stakes, Sets Course Record Sponsored by:
Somelikeithotbrown (Big Brown) wins the Dinner Party Stakes (G2) at Pimlico on 5.15.21. Jose Ortiz up, Michael Maker trainer, Skychai Racing and Sand Dollar Stable owners.
The second time in the Grade 2 Dinner Party Stakes was the charm for Somelikeithotbrown, who vindicated last year s runner-up effort in the race on Saturday. Jockey Jose Ortiz tucked the 5-year-old horse in behind 25-1 early leader Flying Scotsman, stalking his pace just outside and poking a nose out in front on the final turn. Somelikeithotbrown faced down a stubborn Flying Scotsman in the stretch under a calculated ride by Ortiz and held off late charges from Talk or Listen and favored Sacred Life to prevail by one length.
